Is there any way to post videos to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I really think the only thing that's missing right now in Lemmy is more gif and video content easily accessible from the feeds. I want to contribute this content, but it seems to me like the only way to do this is by sharing links to external services like YouTube, TikTok, or imgur. Is this correct? Or is there a way to upload videos directly to lemmy that can be played without clicking on links?

The software that manages media files for Lemmy (pict-rs) actually supports videos now but I don't think Lemmy itself does. Hopefully we'll get it soon but I expect a lot of restrictions from smaller instances because video hosting is very expensive.
