Doesn't hapen like that on my phone, it opens the videos in a browser, just like any other link.
That being said, yes, a built in player would be the preferred choice.
Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

Your phone doesn’t open feddit.de links with Jerboa automatically.
However, neither does mine and I can choose the app every time: not knowing that it’s a video link (only seeing the “open feddit.de link with...” pop-up), I chose Jerboa because I thought it led to a post or comment. A built-in video player for common servers or at least indication that the link is a video (perhaps a thumbnail with a play button, film roll stripes or camera icon, or showing the URL) would help.
But why would a video link have feddit.de in it's URL? Lemmy still doesn't support videos, so it can't be a video if it has that TLD in it's URL.
Idk how it’s possible – but the URL is https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/ccb93097-3741-4b41-a8a5-5f8425f1b793.mp4 and it’s indeed a video.
