I started a community for images and gifs, and while images seem to upload just fine I can't get .mp4 files to upload properly. If you click the link it works, but the gif won't load in the thumbnail, tab, or comment page. Is this a site-wide issue, or am I doing something wrong?

I think it's the explosion of people because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I know videos take a lot of bandwidth so they might be overloaded.
That tracks. I signed up on Tuesday and have faced nothing but bugs and severe lag since joining. However I figured it was still worth checking to see if there's something I'm doing wrong, or if someone knew of a workaround until the devs can fix the issue.
It's also probably that your instance rocketed into the single largest one in a very short time.
Mastodon has the same problem but I think it's worth having patience. I love the small community feel here.
