Haha you two want that, but have you considered what Reddit wants?

Since they changed their whole philosophy and started the v.redd.it thing it is not the same anymore.

All OpenGraph and Twitter Card tags give us a static image. Reddit is pretty clear on only allowing a static image to be embedded.

If you did further, you find that the video is in a DASH container, so audio and video are separate files. Getting that to play on Discourse means, at least, using a custom JS video player.
