Does the mobile app allow upload of gifs and videos? It seems to take stills of a gif, and no videos in folders when searching for file via liftoff.
I might be doing it wrong. Looking for advice and/or confirmation
The app isn’t in control of that. The instance you’re on is. I’ve only heard of one instance that allows direct uploading of video and gifs, and IIRC, it was Kbin.
Lemmy only supports images. You cannot upload video files to your instance. My workaround is to upload videos to YouTube or catbox.moe and then post the URL.
That’s one of the huge turn offs in lemmy I’m really missing videos and gifts that I consider getting back to reddit. This is bs
Lemmy instances are hosted on personal servers. They don’t have the massive storage space and bandwidth that a billion dollar corporation has. If you want an instance that hosts videos, then make your own. You’ll have to buy a lot of storage, and pay for a lot of bandwidth, though, because videos take up a lot of both of those things.
You can just upload anything to a third party platform and copy its URL when you create a post on Lemmy.
I know this is possible but it isn’t convenient, andyiu don’t see a lot of posts with video or gifs here
Are you a reddit shill? Video on reddit sucked ass.
“Going back to reddit”: yes, please. Leave. Everyone wins.
How everybody wins if leave? Why the toxicity? Because I criticized this platform? Because I’m not thinking like you? It’s really easy to to be toxic when you don’t see the other person ha?
I won’t fall into your projection bullshit. Leave.
