Yeah Lemmy doesn't actually support direct video uploading. So you'd need to upload somewhere else and link from there. Like people used to have to upload images to Imgur before linking that to Reddit, before Reddit supported direct images.
YouTube is one obvious option, especially with unlisted videos.
Imgur might work, but has a habit of trying to make things harder for people who are directly linking.
Catbox.moe has been popular on Lemmy, but is actually blocked in many countries and by some ISPs in others.
There's also the difficult bit of actually getting the video file that you want to upload. Reddit deliberately makes it hard (in fact, it looks like the solution given in that post no longer works), so you might need some third-party tools to end up with both the video and audio in one file. For example: https://rapidsave.com/
It's a tiktok video, you can see the watermark with the username of the uploader. From there it's not hard to find the source:

It's limited but still better than new reddit. It lets me download it on mobile in desktop mode, in mobile mode it just want me to download their shitty app.
oh shit, i will edit my link and do this from now on
You can even link via proxitok: https://proxitok.pabloferreiro.es/%40debateher/video/7444969420377722158
Proxitok is an alternative frontend for tiktok, more instances here: https://greycoder.com/proxitok-an-alternative-front-end-to-tiktok/
i didn't even know tiktak could have frontends, i feel like i've been kept epistemologically ignorant of this
Welcome to Lemmy. With the libredirect addin you can automaticallly redirect to similar frontends on a lot of services: https://libredirect.github.io/
Bibliogram is rate limited frequently, I use https://imginn.com/ for instagram
lemmy supports video uploads but the experience may vary across instances due to different length and size limits. I think it's also sometimes an issue of processing time when the "wrong" format of uploaded
