Lemmy noob here, have only had an account for a few days and been using Connect for even less. I've noticed that on desktop, GIFs that are linked in a post (Whether in the body or the URL section) can be watched without opening a new tab or leaving the page. So far, this does not seem to be the case on mobile, no matter the application (I've used Jerboa, Connect, and one other I already forget). Is this a matter of instance implementation, or application/site? And do sites need to be "whitelisted", or can any URL that leads to a GIF work?
This is a huge feature for me, and one of the biggest reasons I'm waiting on Boost for Lemmy
With that said, Connect is by far my favorite mobile app for Lemmy.
Reupload!
Seems I can finally upload GIFs directly without hassle! The entire NSFW Lemmy community needs to start doing this if we want to see it grow, and of course, have great content 😋
The app I use is called Boost, and it's currently in public testing, but should be available soon. If you're using another mobile app to view this, please let me know if:
Thanks, and I plan on pushing more content to revitalize our NSFW hub away from Reddit! ❤️
