Where are all the videos and gifs?
I’ve noticed that on Lemmy there aren’t really any videos/gifs as I scroll. I just see post titles, links, or images.
Is there a reason videos and gifs aren’t showing up on my feed?

I'm a bitter old man who dislikes inline gifs in the comments, is there a way to block it like I did with RES on Reddit?
You can use a userscript manager like greasymonkey to inject a javascript snippet that will hide images in comments which have obvious urls to gifs and replace them with actual links or hide them
here an example snippet:
Using wefwef at the moment (Apollo inspired) you can use it on android desktop and iPhone as it is a webapp and they show up as a link for me that I can then click and doesn’t embed it or inline it.
I'm not aware of an option like that but that sounds like a good feature.
I've waffled on this issue over the last 25 years, but agree that the option to show/block should still exist.
First I was against it.
Then I enjoyed it.
Then I was against it again.
