if any of you out there have a moment ... is this link to a video working or not working in any particular app, operating system, software or unusual set up you have? The other factor that seems to affect video posting and where it is hosted is geo-location ... links to certain hosts work or don't work depending on which country or region a link is hosted and which country or region someone is accessing it from. And of course, the video may or may not work depending on your security settings and ad blocking and the security settings of the host.

I posted this on Lemmy webclient on Firefox running on Linux (Ubuntu)

I can see my own post via Sync on Android

Would be helpful to know what works and what doesn't

The gift was autoplaying even in the miniature from lemmy.ml in Firefox. On jlai.lu also on firefox, there is no preview and when launched the gif doesn't loop.
