Hi! We’re new here, not gonna bore you with detail, let’s just say we’re a daddy/stepdau couple, but we would love to know how to post videos or gifs here on lemmy so they would show in a community feed. Any advice is welcomed! Thanks! 🦄👄

    When you create a post, at least on the website, there is a separate field for a Link, different from Title and Body. I’ve done that with redgifs several times and it works great. I get an embedded video player on mobile and on the website.

      Nope, it’s still showing only a link. Could you lead me on how did you do it? Maybe screenshots? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I past a link into URL section but it only shows a link, not video, when I post it

        I think you’re doing everything correctly. If you’re using lemmy through the web ui / your browser then you have to click on the thumbnail of the video, not the ‘+’ button for inline video playback. See https://files.catbox.moe/w8l51k.mp4

        Most Lemmy mobile apps currently don’t support redgif inline video playback. The only one I know of is Liftoff!.

              That is definitely a factor for a hoster like catbox.moe, but I would assume that most tube sites and redgif would re-encode a video to the same format, no matter in which format you upload it?

            Voyager doesn’t play any videos for me. It shows thumbnails for some hosting sites like Pornhub or EroMe, but as far as I can tell it doesn’t support video playback (yet). Do you have an example of a video with playback using Voyager?
