Interesting, I just uploaded the .mp4 directly to lemmy and assumed this to be working. How else would you share a gif/short video?
No idea. As much as I love lemmy I’m not exactly shocked that directly uploaded media isn’t seamless. I thought it was my lemmy client, but it didn’t load when I checked from the web, either.
But on Jerboa (also Android) it doesn't work the same seamles way: It's shown as a link and I can tap it and open it in Firefox and it will play fine in there.
On Raccoon on Android from within EU it works. Hope that helps you narrow down the problem.
Here in sync. I clicked the preview in a repost and it didnlt load.
Clicked through to the original post and it loaded... It took about a minute and a half to load though.
Just to let you know, video works for me on desktop Firefox. Thank you for posting.
