Does lemmy support uploading video (mp4) files? (vlemmy.net)

I've tried to upload a video to a community and it errors out with a syntax error on line 1, is this an unimplemented feature or is it bugged?

It does not. You can upload animated images, but no video.

You'll need to use a host, like youtube, streamable, or peertube.

Please do use external hosts. Lemmy instances are already working hard enough to keep up with users, we don't also need to burden them with video hosting.
