YouTube does not feel appropriate since it is not my content.

    Reddit video links do not open up a raw video file but instead a web page that loads the video/audio file in chunks. If you want a regular video file you have to download it with yt-dlp or similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if some apps include an embed solution, but most Lemmy websites and apps do not include embedding and simply link directly to the external page.
