Upload videos and gifs - Lemmy.world

Does the mobile app allow upload of gifs and videos? It seems to take stills of a gif, and no videos in folders when searching for file via liftoff. I might be doing it wrong. Looking for advice and/or confirmation

Lemmy only supports images. You cannot upload video files to your instance. My workaround is to upload videos to YouTube or catbox.moe and then post the URL.

That’s one of the huge turn offs in lemmy I’m really missing videos and gifts that I consider getting back to reddit. This is bs

You can just upload anything to a third party platform and copy its URL when you create a post on Lemmy.

I know this is possible but it isn’t convenient, andyiu don’t see a lot of posts with video or gifs here
