Inspired by u/lonelyguy584 video.

Not so long ago, I went to a concert of the only band that I listen to (of those that are alive) and noticed that they have a song similar to the one that I heard in a video on reddit. I wanted to change the soundtracks and see what happens. In the end, I decided to make my own similar video. The result is not that it would be some kind of super-cool, but there is quite a lot of time for such a simple thing, I can’t even imagine how the real creators make real AMVs for a few minutes.

Irrelevant to the post

I hope you won’t be offended that I’m posting all sorts of stuff, there’s already a relatively lot of it. I really don’t want to repeat the fate of r/amv and r/Animeedits.

By the way, I think I’ve started to understand why these subreddits are so empty. Perhaps the main reason is that reddit and lemmy obviously are not such convenient platforms for watching videos as YouTube and perhaps Twitter (Blue Sky, misskey.io). The videos here are more like the cherry on the cake (or should be like this). And the audience here is still a little different.

Recently, I’ve had a little problem with lemmy: all (embedded) videos are hidden in the body (description) of the post, and not as before, as images, just click to play. Reminds me this issue. Is it the same for everyone?

A little earlier ufter browser update, the site itself stopped loading via firefox (Mull) without a vpn or proxy. With google chrome (Cromite) everything is almost fine but all videos are loading too slowly and with no sound. Think I will ask lemmy support later if nothing get fixed.

    Sounds interesting. Think I will be converting mp4 to webm for better compatibility. I would like to use catbox.moe, it seems more reliable since it is so often used, but it is blocked by many (relatively) countries including those that are not in its FAQ. I sure hope shota.nu doesn’t suffer the same fate or it doesn’t close after some time.

      Yeah, I understand. Catbox is blocked for me whenever I am at work or on a mobile connection (unless I turn on a vpn). That was part of the motivation for hosting clips on my own domain. But setting up that kind of infrastructure and actually paying for the VPS/object storage isn’t something that everybody wants to or is able to do.
