Hi! We’re new here, not gonna bore you with detail, let’s just say we’re a daddy/stepdau couple, but we would love to know how to post videos or gifs here on lemmy so they would show in a community feed. Any advice is welcomed! Thanks! 🦄👄

When you create a post, at least on the website, there is a separate field for a Link, different from Title and Body. I’ve done that with redgifs several times and it works great. I get an embedded video player on mobile and on the website.
Nope, it’s still showing only a link. Could you lead me on how did you do it? Maybe screenshots? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I past a link into URL section but it only shows a link, not video, when I post it
I think you’re doing everything correctly. If you’re using lemmy through the web ui / your browser then you have to click on the thumbnail of the video, not the ‘+’ button for inline video playback. See https://files.catbox.moe/w8l51k.mp4
Most Lemmy mobile apps currently don’t support redgif inline video playback. The only one I know of is Liftoff!.
I’m using Voyager and some videos are being played, some not, I don’t really understand the pattern
It might be the file type of the video, like .mov, .mp4, .webm, .gif, .gifv?
That is definitely a factor for a hoster like catbox.moe, but I would assume that most tube sites and redgif would re-encode a video to the same format, no matter in which format you upload it?
You’re right. I’m thinking about catbox.moe. The other sites ought to re-encode.
Voyager doesn’t play any videos for me. It shows thumbnails for some hosting sites like Pornhub or EroMe, but as far as I can tell it doesn’t support video playback (yet). Do you have an example of a video with playback using Voyager?
