I'm trying to find where in the Fediverse I can get my fill of short form videos.

I really like going on Instagram and seeing short recipe videos, or little videos of people painting, or 30 seconds of a stand up routine, or someone giving me gardening tips, or someone sharing their thoughts on sometimes quite serious matters in a short form video.

I really don't like that Instagram is currently my best option for this.

Mastodon has some posts like this but you can't find them specifically. Lemmy presumably has some like this somewhere. I don't think PixelFed does videos currently. Vine is long dead.

What is my best option for this on the Fediverse so I can bin off one more social media app?

If there isn't you can make a feature request.

It would make sense for PeerTube as (almost?) all publicly open instances put a restriction on the storage your videos take up, so lots of short videos makes more sense than a few large ones.

Also it might be worth looking but some instances may focus on shorter videos.
