Comment on Where should I upload short videos to post them to Lemmy?
JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoI thought if you liked the source in the post it embedded directly, rather than using reddit’s player? I’d agree just a link to the Reddit post wouldn’t be good.

Reddit video links do not open up a raw video file but instead a web page that loads the video/audio file in chunks. If you want a regular video file you have to download it with yt-dlp or similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if some apps include an embed solution, but most Lemmy websites and apps do not include embedding and simply link directly to the external page.
