Pixelfed now also supports WebP2P videos like Peertube

Very nice improvement and I hope more fediverse software starts supporting this. tl;dr popular videos are also uploaded by the viewers, thus lowering the server load, similar to Bittorrent, but all in the browser.

pixelfed seems to be getting some really nice improvements at an incredible rate. Props to those devs!

That's cool but are the videos on Pixelfed long enough for WebP2P to work? I imagine the median video length on Pixelfed would be seconds rather than minutes as it would be on Peertube.
