Lemmy can implement video support however it will be up to the instances on whether or not they can afford the extra storage on video hosting.

Lemmy isn't really suited for that purpose. A Fediverse equivalent would be a PeerTube instance.

I suppose Lemmy can implement a way for Peertube videos to be played directly on the website without clicking a link.
