This post is half a test for me to see how Lemmy is currently handling video and gif, but this also gives a nice visualization of a few of the major points of my big feather article I'll post tonight or tomorrow.
I typically post using Liftoff, which seems to have no native video support and just links to an outside site. I also have Boost, which I think currently stinks for how I post, which stinks because I loved old Boost. I may try the straight World website to see what that does.
My questions to you guys:
Do you want video content? I feel some people do not like video for one reason or another. I usually fall into that camp because it's much quicker to read something saved I don't need to adjust my volume or worry about annoying people nearby.
Have you found a good way to post or view video or animation on Lemmy? In my past tests, I can post it fine from Boost, but not always see it or get thanks y, etc in Liftoff, and I'm worried I'll post things that work well for a few of you, but annoy a good portion of the rest of you.
Let me know your thoughts!
In Jerboa it also opens in an outside link, which is one reason I'm not partial to videos. But seeing those feathers not move and (not) hearing the sound of the owls flight would be hard to replicate in text. Great video!
