What
Edit: ah, nevermind. Looks like my client (Boost for Lemmy) doesn't support videos properly yet
I saw just the first frame. Maybe there's some update that hasn't rolled out to me yet.
edit: I don't see an update in my play store and it says the last update was released on 30th of november. I wonder what's going on that this post behaves so inconsistently
Interesting. Failed on midwest.social, but does work if I open it on lemy.lol (original location).
Thanks for the data point!
lemy.lol is the instance of the user, this community is hosted on lemmy.world. And I would say in this context, the original location is the location of the community. or are videos hosted on the users instance for some reason?
Yeah media says on the original instance it got posted on, it's just the URL that gets passed around instances.
I have no idea.
Interestingly, opening this thread on lemmy.world also does not work.
Same results with Chrome and Opera.
Here's a direct link, if your client doesn't supports videos: https://lemy.lol/pictrs/image/ae6d2999-2fb2-4df9-b3e5-4cbd25cfe628.mp4
The non zero chance of kitty getting smushed by a machine or dropped weight seems not worth the joy of cat company while working out. It looks like it might not be during business hours though.
Currently using sync on Android.
Clicked on post link and nothing.
Am I broken?
For me it didn't seem to load at first, so I backed out and opened it again and it worked after a second. The same might work for you.
Most clients I use. Default web UI, Photon, Mlem. I've seen people telling some other clients supports too.
I just realised that I've never seen a video on Lemmy before. It's pretty cool finally seeing one.
