Do you think so? I usually use gifs from catbox.moe, it's pretty reliable as a hosting platform, I'm not sure having videos uploaded directly to Lemmy would be that much of a change
I use the web UI as well. Doesn't this work for you? https://reddthat.com/post/17937082
On iOS as well.
Funny enough, that one worked for me, both in Voyager and safari. But a vast majority of gifs from catbox.moe don’t work for me as well. The issue appears to be intermittent (as opposed to something to do with the file or link format). So this one loading for me was probably just a “lucky” click.
Aah, sad to hear. Might be indeed, now I get why pictures posts work better than gifs
You can embed external video now, allowing video uploading directly is just for the sake of convenience.
I've had issues with catbox, specifically it doesn't convert videos if they're incompatible with your browser. Firefox doesn't support H.265 for example.
That's strange, I always check the gifs in catbox, they always play. Do you see the example I listed below?
Yeah, that one does. I think it's very dependent on what's been uploaded.
They might even have fixed it now.
That might be it, let's hope!
I mean, gifs will always play, they're from like 1995. H265 is a whole newer and noticeably heavier thing.
That's what I thought too but apparently on Safari it can be an issue
...Huh. One learns new stuff every day!
