I want to upload some videos to Peertube to share here in Lemmy, but I’m not sure how to find an instance where I can upload them.

I don’t want to be ‘picky’ since I know I’m using another person’s hardware that costs money to maintain, but the majority of Peertube instances I had found the users can’t upload videos at all, or have a ridiculous minimum of like 25 MBs per file… And I had found other instances where the user can upload anything he wants, but how do I know that instance will prevail? I mean I had accounts in multiple Peertube instances that after some time are unreachable, it literally gives you an nginx or ‘page not found’ error…

I know I can host it myself and that’s the best option, but I don’t have the knowledge or hardware to do it.

      Dumb question, how do I know if I can upload videos without registering each instance and what size limit do they allow?

        Do you mean ‘without browsing each instance’? The list I linked to previously wont be much help there.

        Your best bet might be to use the ‘Find a PeerTube platform’ search. The link I included here is filtered for video-makers who are not interested in live streams and are looking for a minimum of 5GB of space. You can adjust the filters to your preferences and/or needs.
