A mobile client for Lemmy running on iOS and Android

Does the mobile app allow upload of gifs and videos? It seems to take stills of a gif, and no videos in folders when searching for file via liftoff.

I might be doing it wrong. Looking for advice and/or confirmation

Lemmy instances are hosted on personal servers. They don't have the massive storage space and bandwidth that a billion dollar corporation has. If you want an instance that hosts videos, then make your own. You'll have to buy a lot of storage, and pay for a lot of bandwidth, though, because videos take up a lot of both of those things.
