I just started using Lemmy and not sure where to ask this. From my short time, I noticed no videos, gifs, or photo album posts. Are they not supported yet on Lemmy?

If you put a direct link to a gif or video as the "link" of your post, I think it embeds automatically. But Lemmy right now does not support uploading videos directly.

Embedding works, yeah, but it has to be a direct link. Can't be youtube or such.
