Instagram multi-image shows in Xenforo but not in Facebook, Twitter or Reddit

You can collapse up to ten images into a single post at Instagram so that they play as a slide show from the initial image by clicking on an advance arrow. I was pleased to discover that Xenforo embeds the entire Instagram post and allows playback within the Xenforo post:

And indeed, just posting the Instagram link here also exhibits the same behavior:

Unfortunately, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit do not play the Instagram post 'natively' and instead either show a still image and/or the link. Which is very odd for Facebook since they own Instagram.

On the odd chance that I can enhance the posts to those other platforms, is there a way to see what Xenforo is doing to play those Instagram posts (apparently) natively within a Xenforo post? Is there code I can add to the posts to those other platforms that will make it behave the way it does within Xenforo?
