I had to convert the video file to a gif to get it to upload, only to have it be converted back by Mastodon. There should really be more allowed formats and also a bigger upload limit

@noiob It's especially difficult when the video is stored on your phone- mine captures things at a default 1080p60 and the files it produces are far too large

You'd think Google would give their Photos app the functionality to share a scaled-down copy, but I guess they just want you to access everything from the ~cloud~

@Kit my LG app can downscale to as low as 480p

@noiob I'd ignored literally every preloaded LG app on mine 😲​
