Well that won't show up as a video on Lemmy or will it?
Depends of the interface. Mp4 show up correctly on the Web UI
On desktop, if you link to an mp4 file hosted somewhere, it embeds the video in the post, just as a picture would be embedded.
Example: https://lemmy.world/post/23008472
How does this post appear to you?
There is just a link.
Edit: I'm using Connect.
If you post the file to somewhere you can directly link to it (I.E. wvvw.notawebsite.com/file.mp4) it will show up as one. That said, I don't know of any hosts who allow sharing of Video content this way. Some clients also embed YouTube properly, and I wouldn't be suprised if PeerTube worked too, but I have yet to see anyone directly try and post PeerTube content.
