This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @[email protected] and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?
There was iframe support while posting and then it was scrubbed off due to security reasons. I hope it can be brought back again securely or some other method exists.

The Deaf Community uses sign language which can only be captured and distributed as video. Many Deaf people did not have a good education, therefore their English is not at a level to be fluent. Their first language will be Sign Language. My first Language is Sign Language, but I am also fluent in English. I was privileged to be able to have a good education, thanks to my parents who supported me and made good choices for my educational needs.
Now, back to the point about video in posts and comments. I would like to see an opportunity for a Sign Language instance. There may be funding to cover the cost of storage to allow this, but this can only be a reality of video can be implemented natively.
Other instances can choose to turn this feature off? Let there be an option 👍
