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

Why not use pixelfed to upload and then to link it here?

Because this means creating yet another account at a service who is probably not ready to bear the costs of becoming a video hosting provider?

If people thought that, lemmy wouldnt exist. Try it first :)

idt pixelfed should be used as an imagehost. there are many services for that and it will only make pixelfed worse if people use it for that purpose.
