Can we post videos? (self.support)

The Create Post page says that it can accept videos in the html, but when I just tried to upload an mp4 I got this error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Are we supposed to be able to upload videos here?

Oh cool, thanks! Yeah, beyond being able to embed PeerTube & YouTube, it would be cool if we could do it with Reddit posts too, especially videos and images. I haven't looked into Reddit embeds, but there's some documentation on them here (it's a pdf‽). Someone also made this, which hasn't been updated for a couple of years but still seems to work.

Ugh, not great docs on getting set up so I'm struggling to get a test env working.
