I just started using Lemmy and not sure where to ask this. From my short time, I noticed no videos, gifs, or photo album posts. Are they not supported yet on Lemmy?

People forget that when Reddit first started, it only supported link submissions and then later self submissions. That's how imgur got started - it was a gift to the users. It was only relatively recently when Reddit supported image and video hosting.
