Hey folks -- we're making a big investment in improving our video UX. 

That said, would encourage folks to start posting videos in 9:16 aspect ratio (like TikTok, IG Reels, YT Shorts).

Would also encourage people to add captions -- using CapCut, Captions (app), Descript, Kapwing, etc.

@dwr.eth any benefit to us posting natively as opposed to linking a youtube short?

well i guess the benefit is we are GIANT yeeeeesh

this is how it appears if i link the youtube short version

I keep telling everyone that 😅 can you please unfuck video uploads I get such shit engagement if I don't post natively

native posting of video will get more engagement

okbanger

Slightly unrelated but I can’t seem to join the /okbanger channel

U need to click the small unmute bottom right

But it’s super laggy and janky on my phone!!!

There’s no sound? Or is it just my phone

how can you just show us the little things and not the full look (you wearing the hat with them attached) 😡

I actually dig this but I prefer YT shorts moreeeeee 🥹🥹 don’t stop 😭😭

It gets far less engagement, so I still don't see the point. People told me that video was stuttering for them too 🤷‍♂️

I think @dwr.eth and team are focused on short form video (hence the request for 9:16 aspect ratio videos) because that's what does best in-feed

This is a different format than what Pinetree is focused on. You can think of PT as the video "power user" tool. Once you want to expand beyond shorts and create long-form or 16:9 content, it's probably better to have a full-fledged video product rather than a feed product that has good video support

Also, more video creators in the FC ecosytem is good for everyone

I kept telling everyone posting natively was the way they kept saying I was tripping. I have engagement numbers to prove it! And now even more proof. @androidsixteen.eth the man has spoken, mini app for video will do worse than native
