I was trying to post a video but it wouldn’t show up as available to upload in Jerboa, is this a per community thing or is it across all of lemmy? It would make sense because videos are inherently a larger file size, if that is the reason

      Yep, I used catbox to embed this video.

      From an instance Admin perspective - image hosting eats up a tonne of space, allowing video would be a much bigger undertaking. Even Peertube instances tend to restrict user numbers and the amount they can upload.
