[Request] FOSS alternative to gfycat? (lemmy.ml)

Is there a FOSS alternative to gfycat for hosting short video clips? With gfycat shutting down, I’m looking for other options.

You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we've been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it's not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there's plugins, or even if what I've been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

I think it's more designed for photo uploads, as there's an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).

All noted, thanks! I see there's a Docker option, should do a quick local install and see if i like it for my stuff, although my use case is less "vacation photos" than "sharing memes" like OP, hopefully it'll work for this
