Imgur links don't work as expanding because they're using a link to a page and not the actual image. You have to click "Get share links" after you upload and then use the url in the BB code one to get the actual image link.
This is a link to a video website, so it would likely never be processed as an expanding video in lemmy, kbin or whatever. This video works for me now on PC, however on Mull and Mulch - which are Android forks of Firefox specifically set for privacy - it did not. Other videos did work, but this one didn't. My guess is the video is in a weird file format.
The website also has plenty of dodgy shit - like facebook and gstatic.com. What's the point of using an alternative to YouTube if you're still connecting to Google??
(Incidentally, these images were all uploaded to imgur. You just have to pick the right links.)
TL;DR this is a janky and dodgy website.
