This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Not at all, a magazine is basically a computer but with faster data access speeds while sacrificing some read/write capabilities.
Also, like Lemmy, video is not supported.
What do you mean by video not being supported on Lemmy?
Jokes aside, seems to be an issue with apps supporting it, because it does work on the web app which means Lemmy itself does support it.
Linking off site works, but try uploading an .mp4 or even an animated .gif directly to a Lemmy instance. Most don't support it, and the ones that do had to add the functionality themselves.
I have uploaded many animated .gif and .webp just fine, though I didn't try uploading mp4 because if it somehow works I don't want to waste storage from the instance I'm on with videos
GIF (sorry that was the last one I got saved)
WEBP
That isn't Lemmy, that is just your client.
oh ok thx
It was a mp4 video and it displays fine for me, but heres a webm and tell me if you can watch this one
I see this one, but not the other one. Web interface, Firefox, Linux.
Try through this https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622 If it doesn't also work from it then it may be your network blocking the video url origin domain or something of the sort. I'm on Librefox in Linux and checked with Firefox and both displays it fine
That works.
Are you on lemmy.world or a subdomain of lemmy.world like a.lemmy.world or photon.lemmy.world or m.lemmy.world or old.lemmy.world ?
Try https://lemmy.world/post/30404573/17330074
Plain lemmy.world . Now all work, so the issue was a fluke.
nope, same issue
Probably your interface, lemmy default interface seems to display fine .mp4 .webm .mp3 the devs maintaining the interface you're using either havent been made aware of it not working or just simply need this compatibility to be ported over
yeah, i guess jerboa just doesn't have that feature yet
Weird, it's saying the videos are an image to you? What client or web interface are you on?
Jerboa
Forgot to mention but .mp3 is also supported
For @[email protected] it also didn't load and you both seem to not be using the default lemmy interface which seems to be the common factor, if you come on this thread in the default lemmy interface you can see both https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622
I guess both interfaces of you two dont support video embeds, maybe someone didn't report this issue yet in their repo
