Lemmy doesn’t support video hosting. In the past I’ve used catbox.moe but had mixed results with video not uploading easily, users not being able to view them, and it just wasn’t great. So now since Loops is on ActivityPub I’ve been using them now.
I’m using Mlem which loads the videos automatically as part of the posts just like gifs. Just now thought to check Voyager, and it appears that it shows it as a link to be opened in the internal browser, so I’m guessing apps showing that behavior is probably why you’re asking.
I mean if I find a better alternative I’m all for it.
I have a real question here. Loops is on the fediverse. Can you not embed video from there, or is OP unwilling to do that for whatever reason?
Embed videos from where?

You can crosspost, but I don’t know how well lemmy interacts with it. It has major problems interacting with peertube and mastodon.
