I’ve noticed that on Lemmy there aren’t really any videos/gifs as I scroll. I just see post titles, links, or images.

Is there a reason videos and gifs aren’t showing up on my feed?

    I’m speaking from the perspective as a reader on /r/combatfootage, but the reason why you want native hosting is because you want to avoid dead links. Videos go missing all the time, and it’s frustrating to go back to old posts and find that someone has removed the video. With native hosting you avoid that issue entirely.
