It seems like all the biggest comms prohibit posting videos. I'm mostly talking about news, world news, etc. at lemmy.world... What are the biggest comms or instances that allow posting videos? I enjoy reading but I also enjoy watching and posting videos. Thanks!

I don't think there is one, because Lemmy is mainly based on text and images, and will need tons of extra space and bandwidth for an instance to support videos.

OP seems to be talking about posting videos which I imagine are links instead of uploading videos.

Wouldn't that solve the whole storage issue?

Probably depends on the context and community, and where it’s hosted.
