Is there any way to embed YouTube, Streamable, Imgur, Gfycat, etc. videos on Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I can't found it how can I post embedded videos or posts from social media sites, like on Reddit or other similar sites.

embed YouTube, Streamable, Imgur Gfycat.

There aren't any benefits of it. It only increases resources usage and decreases privacy and security(as embedded sites can still track users because browser will send http request at that site while loading).

Instead pasting an embedded link somewhere in post or reply would be a better way to accomplish it.

Same opinion. We shouldn't copy or cater to convenience like capitalists do.
