Am I the only one that gets this? I tried uploading a video but can’t seem to regardless of file size. Toggling between sections makes no difference. Also unrelated but having so many different sections of lemmy makes it difficult to know where to post. I just found out posting this that I need to be subscribed to the lemmy.ca support / questions in order to post here.
I don’t think you can upload a video to Lemmy directly. People usually upload to another site and then paste the link in the URL field.
This shouldn’t happen, I’ll poke around and see if I can replicate it.
Quick overview if it helps:
subscribed,local,all,moderator vieware different feeds that will show posts from different collections of communities:subscribedshows posts from communities you subscribe tolocalshows posts from communities on the instance. This can be helpful for topic specific instances, and on our instance it will get you a lot of the Canadian content. The full list of communities on our instance are here: https://lemmy.ca/communitiesallshows all content that the instance knows aboutmoderator viewonly shows posts from communities where you are a mod.hot,active,scaled,controversialetc. affects the order of the posts on the feed.You can set defaults in your settings once you know what you like, I haven’t changed mine in a long time now. I use
subscribedwithscaled, but I recommend trying out things to see what you prefer :)When posting, you will be posting to a specific community. What I like to do is navigate to it in my address bar. It will follow this format:
lemmy.ca/c/COMMUNITY@example.comFor example
lemmy.ca/c/fediverse@lemmy.worldlemmy.ca/c/canada(orlemmy.ca/c/canada@lemmy.caif you find it easier)Thank you for being helpful and informative unlike DerisionConsulting
