Why do I not find any video/gif content here? (lemmy.world)

It's been great 4 days here on fediverse for me. But I started to notice that there is barely any content in form of videos or gifs. Every content is just static in form is images or text. This is what I am really missing here compared to reddit. Is there any particular reason behind it?

Let’s test it! here’s a gif

Edit: trying to upload a video or gif throws an “unsupported” error - but hyperlinking gifs should work fine

Fyi Feedback in case you were curious about other people's experience:
On Android chrome kbin app, gif loaded into browser, image scaled to 1x and didn't fill or stretch at all, preloaded on its own fine, had to click play, didn't loop.
