I’m looking for a place to upload some video. By now i’ve found playeur.com and rumble but i would love to hear what you guys are using. Thanks in advance.

There is https://peertube.tv/
It is a video sharing platform and part of the fediverse :))
With https://tilvids.com/ being an instance of peertube for educational content.
sry for being unclear, it’s no educational content i try to upload but animations.
I’ve requested an account at peertube but never received an email afterwards…

There is also https://odysee.com/. I’m just glad more people are working on and joining competing platforms. Youtube’s near monopoly is not good.
+1 for Odysee here. Some give it a pass due to it being a haven for people whose content gets kicked off YouTube, but the same is true for just about any alternative out there, including many instances of PeerTube. With PeerTube you have greater control by being able to self-moderate and federate if you run your own instance, but that takes time, effort and resources you may not have. Odysee has a greater variety of viewpoints and video categories/topics on the front page than many other competitors such as Rumble, which is basically just right-wing YouTube (and IIRC that’s what Rumble is meant to be) and it has a nice balance of enough content to find new stuff to watch every day and not being so overwhelmingly big that you’ll get lost in the vast ocean of content. If you just want to find a place to upload videos, join a PeerTube instance that seems good to you or use Odysee.
Absolutely, since i’ve degoogled long ago i’ll never go back. Your suggestion looks nice to me, will check it out, thanks.
Personally, I prefer it when people do one of the following:
- upload the file to catbox.moe and link it here (for clips up to 200MB)
- upload the file directly to their lemmy instance (if their instance allows it)
- self-host it on their own web server (with no bullshit crappy JS interface, please – just give me the file; I’ll play it with VLC if it doesn’t work in my browser)
PeerTube is also a reasonable choice – although I don’t like its UI very much.
To selfhost will be the ultimate goal. (didn’t know catbox, thanks.)
If you want it to be discoverable and easy to reach, go for YouTube. Otherwise, you have Vimeo, PeerTube (self-hosted, or you can join an instance), and that’s about it.
Your other option is just regular file hosting, and sharing the file directly.
Streamable is decent and has no cruft.
