I suggest uploading directly to ani.social but there's an upload limit of 25MB. If your file is bigger than 25MB, then you will have to re-encode it so it's smaller. Something like https://8mb.video/ will make it easy.

Otherwise, you can use any external file host like https://catbox.moe/. I prefer if people upload directly to ani.social instead so we don't put too much load on others.

    uploading directly to ani.social

    Oh cool, I thought this wasn't an option because the upload failed.

    there's an upload limit of 25MB

    This must be it. IMO it'd be good if this limit is mentioned somewhere or made more prominent - perhaps in the wiki or the sidebar?

    I can add it to the wiki. It'd be nice if lemmy surfaced these limits, even if it is just the error message.
