While I’m still waiting for mobile passkey support 😢

Absolutely. I’m not someone like who “I’m not doing it but you should do it this way” guy but this particular problem is bigger than a single pull request.

There are tens of apps/web UI’s with different languages/frameworks. I can’t make PR for all of them :/

I guess the problem is about mobile version of it. See this: https://lemy.lol/comment/9734206

About the video playback problem; I’m not sure. I can play videos in Safari without a problem but can’t on Firefox. Maybe a codec problem? Can you try the video with another browser to confirm me please?

Thanks! I’ve created it months ago. Unfortunately it looks like video support is not improved from then.

Are you sure? It’s not like that on me. At least on mobile.

Everyone knows what they want to improve in their software. However, I am opening this post to raise awareness on this issue. It’s just a humble request.

As you know, large video subreddits contribute greatly to Reddit reaching a large user base. For example, when you open the homepage, you can see many subreddits such as r/interestingasfuck, r/funny, r/yesyesyesyesno, r/unexpected etc.

Lemmy is Reddit's alternative for text posts, but unfortunately not for videos at the moment. To fill this gap, I have opened the !yesyesyesno@lemy.lol community and shared a few posts. But these videos are inconsistent between applications and UI’s.

For example;

Voyager can open videos inline without any problems.
Mlem showing it as URL and opens the browser instead of playing.
Lemmy default UI is worst. It doesn’t even show the link. You have to click it’s title to see the video but it’s visually not a link. (looks like this one only occurs on mobile)
Alexandrite shows as a link.

Yes, video hosting is expensive. However, before solutions such as torrents and IPFS, we must ensure that direct videos work smoothly. This is my $0.02 opinion.
