No, not self-hosted. Free and Open Source.
What's the value in an open sourced centralized service? Aren't you just looking for a free service?
you realize thats not likely to be a thing due to hosting costing money. file hosting in particular is a bigger bill each month while realizing only minimal utilization increase. if its to be 100% free its going to collapse eventually.
search for a subscription or ad-supported system you like. You aren't looking for free software (what OSS is) you are looking for free service (increasingly rare on the internet)

Seconded. I still think a FOSS alternative that allows embedding videos within Lemmy and Mastodon is a huge step forward.
I’d host my own instance for the few things myself and a few friends post and others could do the same. Then of course there would be larger more professional instances that people would host as well.
You can refer here and check if any meet your needs. Some of the top ones are obviously not the ones you require so do scroll and try out the others.

The legal structure is such that running it would be perilous.
