Is there anywhere to host gifs and mp4s in the Fediverse? (vlemmy.net)

Lemmy doesn't seem to allow uploading them natively, and it's hard to create a Mustangs Crashing or Idiots in Cars channel without an easy way to attach video.

The best thing I can think of is probably Pixelfed or even a dedicated Masto profile or something, but neither is really ideal. I’d love to see a federated Imgur emerge- and I wouldn’t be fully surprised if one eventually does.

PeerTube would probably be good for hosting mp4s, but you'd basically have to run your own instance. The last time I looked, there weren't any open PeerTube instances that people could just sign up for and use. (Which makes sense, since video hosting is pretty resource-intensive and most hobbyists couldn't afford to run a general-purpose instance.)
