Don't they support video posts?

Hmm. Apparently so.

https://help.tumblr.com/knowledge-base/posting-video/

It’ll need to be a MOV or MP4 file.

You can post up to 20 videos per day.

A single video can be up to 10 minutes in length.

The video upload size limit is 500 MB per video.

The total video time limit per day is 60 minutes.

Well, it's not an open platform, but I guess it may be a platform with the resources to serve some serious video, and it'll be on the Fediverse.

We have been having a lot of discussions about what it would take to get video on the Fediverse at more than PeerTube scale.

I don't use tumblr, don't know if they provide a video-centric interface, but I imagine that one could always write a software package to index those videos and link to them. Maybe PeerTube can already do that, haven't played with it enough to know.
