Can you not post videos on lemmy? (self.fediverse)

I was trying to post a video but it wouldn't show up as available to upload in Jerboa, is this a per community thing or is it across all of lemmy? It would make sense because videos are inherently a larger file size, if that is the reason

Video is not supported. A lot of people seem to use https://catbox.moe to upload videos as it allows hotlinking.

Yep, I used catbox to embed this video.

From an instance Admin perspective - image hosting eats up a tonne of space, allowing video would be a much bigger undertaking. Even Peertube instances tend to restrict user numbers and the amount they can upload.
