Lemmy only stores text, any other form of media is handled by other services.
Image hosting comes "integrated" because it uses pict-rs, but Lemmy itself only stores the URL to that service.
For example in my instance I disabled image hosting, so I'd need to upload to another service for that, same with video.

I thought about starting a public freakout community but on reddit those were host on v.reddit or sometimes you tube. Also thanks for the reply and sorry if I bothered you... no sarcasm
