Which one is the best social media. #nostr is the best social media. What's the second best. There is no second best..

What client is the best to upload ~30MB videos?

What format is the best to play in most clients?

Do free relays tolerate big videos or is it obligatory to own your own relay?

mp4 should work well on most devices. Videos are always just links in a note, so the video size doesn't matter to relays.

Hi! Thx for replying.

I tried an upload at iris, it is not played in primal.

Weird - the last video you uploaded also does not play on Primal in the browser for me. Your older videos from two weeks ago work fine though

Thank you for testing. The link also did not work. Is it a void.cat problem?

Maybe, hard to tell - I personally use https://nostr.build/ to upload images. There is a 10MB/file limit though on the free tier.

If your video is smaller then maybe just try there and see if that works. If it does, it's a void.cat problem 😀

Basically you can upload anywhere though and just paste the link to your note. That's what the nostr clients also do in the background - the notes themselves are text only so all media is hosted somewhere else and just linked.

Thank you.

What client do you use regularly?

I experimented on coracle, snort/iris, amethyst, primal, satellite, nosta & noStrudel.

Different UIs, I like the diversity, I love #nostr.

On Android I use Amethyst. On desktop in the browser mainly Primal at the moment

https://satellite.earth/ you can upload anything on the cdn. Takes biggerfiles as well, mp4 and so on.
