I’ve noticed that on Lemmy there aren’t really any videos/gifs as I scroll. I just see post titles, links, or images.

Is there a reason videos and gifs aren’t showing up on my feed?

    I’ve always hated reddit hosted videos, the performance was terrible. A link to youtube was always so much faster. I guess it made sense for subreddits that focused on video content, but I never cared about any of those.

      Doesn’t need to be hosted on the server. Just need the client’s to support smooth embedding from other video hosts like peertube.

      Me too! And they never had any sound when I maximized them. It was awful!
