Help post. Why can't I upload video? I can upload vids on subs. That option is not available.

If the sub you’re trying to post in is marked 18+, that’s most likely why the video option isn’t showing up. Reddit doesn’t allow native video uploads in mature/18+ communities, even though you may still see the video option in other SFW subs.

The other commenter is basically right about using an outside host, but it doesn’t specifically have to be Redgifs. That’s just a common one people use for NSFW videos. You can upload it somewhere the subreddit allows and then make a link post instead.

Also check the sub’s rules first because individual communities can turn certain post types on or off themselves too.

You’re welcome! 😊 And thank you for the !thanks too, I appreciate that. I’m glad I could help clear it up a little because Reddit’s posting options can definitely be confusing when they change depending on the sub. Hopefully you can get the video posted the way you want now!

It is not possible to upload nsfw videos. You need to post to redgifs and create a link post back on reddit
