2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

You can link to videos, but they need to be hosted on other services, such as PeerTube. Lemmy instances are relatively lightweight and don't necessarily have the storage space for very large files such as videos.
Could this be improved by Lemmy apps and the web interface by integrating a player?
Why were videos more prominent on Reddit; was it easier to upload videos to it?
I suspect the video experience can improve in the future.
Sure, go write the code!
I just might. Somebody linked the issue on GitHub!
It's more about server storage space than code, unfortunately.
Yes, true. But it does not need to be hosted on the instance. It can also be hosted somewhere else and embedded here. Problem with that approach is that itf the external video or gif goes offline, you lose the video.
The embedded thing, I think I remember that there was something like that in the code of the jerboa app or the Lemmy backend.
