Is this hindrance for lemmies to post and watch particularly media and embedded videos (I have not yet seen) because of the not enough (storage) capacity of the lemmy instances/servers? (lemmy.world)

Every time I see a video on other platforms, I may share this on Lemmy. Or every time I get creative to shoot a footage or create a video, I may share too. But, I reached conscientious about the availability and capacity of Lemmy instance(servers) to multimedias and videos, whether uploaded or embedded.

One of the reasons I get hooked on platforms is instantly displayed videos or interactives that also make me started to comment and discuss along those videos. Maybe this Lemmy be focusing first on being a news-link aggregator, text-to-text forum and pic ranking.

Or this hindrance I am wondering of is just insignificant (for now)?

If you want to share a video, unless it is your own, original content, you should be linking to the original source, not uploading the video itself to Lemmy. Uploading content that for which you do not have rights to a platform is freebooting, and is theft. Linking to the original source lets you share the content with others while still providing the views and revenue to the actual creator, ensuring that they will be able to continue making the content that you have evidently found value in.

tl;dr - link to the original source, don't upload someone else's video to the platform.
