I think the question is whether Lemmy has built-in support for video upload and playback, à la v.redd.it. If so, the answer is no: you need to upload your videos to external hosting and share a link to it. Personally, I prefer having the media storage de-coupled from link aggregation/sharing, but might be just me.
I can definitely be reasonable to decouple storage from link aggregation, but I absolutely think a kind of embedded player that lets you play videos without following the link would be nice (if that's even possible)

There are many lemmy instances that limit uploads to 100kb. So your only real option is external hosting.

I've been able to federate with Fediverse.tv, and subscribe to specific channels, so I suspect any of the Peertube instances should also work.
Otherwise, it can always be posted as a link to a specific community.
