Does the mobile app allow upload of gifs and videos? It seems to take stills of a gif, and no videos in folders when searching for file via liftoff.

I might be doing it wrong. Looking for advice and/or confirmation

That's one of the huge turn offs in lemmy I'm really missing videos and gifts that I consider getting back to reddit. This is bs

Lemmy instances are hosted on personal servers. They don't have the massive storage space and bandwidth that a billion dollar corporation has. If you want an instance that hosts videos, then make your own. You'll have to buy a lot of storage, and pay for a lot of bandwidth, though, because videos take up a lot of both of those things.

Are you a reddit shill? Video on reddit sucked ass.

"Going back to reddit": yes, please. Leave. Everyone wins.

How everybody wins if leave? Why the toxicity? Because I criticized this platform? Because I'm not thinking like you? It's really easy to to be toxic when you don't see the other person ha?

I won't fall into your projection bullshit. Leave.

The Liftoff developers can integrate APIs from video-hosting websites like catbox.moe and YouTube into their app. By doing so, we would be able to upload videos directly through the app without having to leave it. It would then automatically post the video URL on our behalf.

If you like the idea, feel free to make this suggestions to the devs.
