Is Lemmy a good option for the Deaf Community? (self.lemmy_support)

Are we able to post videos or images in the comments? I know that you can post a video in the post such as a sign language video, but are people able to respond with a video comment in sign language?

This will be a big deal breaker for the Deaf Community. At the moment the only option for many Deaf people is to use Facebook.

You can link to videos in comments for sure.

Uploading to your instance could be a problem though. Video is data intensive, even with short clips. There's really no support for uploading videos in comments anyway, but it really wouldn't be sustainable long term.

But, linking to an external video host is easy peasy! Otherwise, you gotta write like us plebes :)
