✨ Hello WebP2P! Admins can now enable WebP2P support for Video! This allows you to distribute and cache videos among users, reducing the load on the origin and accelerating content delivery! Big thanks to the pioneering work of @peertube@framapiaf.org and the funding by @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4713 🎉 #pixelfed #webp2p #video

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.
