You guys have sound? I can't unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.

Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again

Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn't play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn't start, from the other times I recall.
Again being reminded to switch.

Very few things refuse to work on Firefox mobile. The one exception I've run across is trying to log into Google, which insists that I should use a 'compatible' browser. Like Chrome.

If I switch what user agent Firefox is reporting so that it LOOKS like I'm using Chrome, it works perfectly, surprise, surprise. I hate Google.

How have you not switched already?

Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.

Do you have more information on this? I have an android gadget with google apps installed but I try to mainly use Firefox..

I listen to bbc with this gadget when I take a shower in the morning before work…

Recently, in firefox the sound started shutting off after a couple minutes, and I had to start using chrome…. I assumed it was something nefarious where they are trying to collect more user data…

The gadget thinks I live in a random place on the planet and I don’t use it for anything other than a mobile game I play and movies and listening to the radio… anyways, I’d much prefer to use Firefox…

I think this could rather be related to power saving if the screen is locked.

I prefer to use a dedicated internet radio app. VLC also works if you obtain the direct stream (check online or play around with element inspector).

Have you considered using a Lemmy app? I don't have these issues you're having in Voyager. You're browsing Lemmy the hard way for no good reason.

Voyager

Have you replied to the wrong person?

If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don't like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There's no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.

Let me give you examples:

This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:
Probably broken in most Lemmy apps.

And here's a button, but in base64 so it's directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:
Probably also broken in some apps.

These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn't lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.

Welcome to this example comment

Double catchy! Catchy rhythm/rhyme and catchy message.
