Redgifs play in feed? (lemmynsfw.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I just switched to Voyager from Sync and I'm loving it so far! The only issue is Redgifs content doesn't play in my feed, it only shows the link. Is there a setting to enable this or is another solution possible? Thank you!

Issue #671: [Open][Enhancement] External links to GIFs should be embedded and autoplay

Do you have a good example of a community with mostly redgifs?

For research purposes.

(But actually for research purposes lol)

I just did a (re)search for "redgif" and this popped up prominently: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/nsfw_gifs

Thanks

I did a bit of research and it looks like in order to play videos with redgifs I'd have to apply for an api key.

Currently, Voyager (the app) never calls any endpoint that I own. There's no phone home at all in Voyager unlike some other Lemmy apps. Adding redgif support would mean that Voyager would have to phone home to get a client token because thats how the redgifs api works.

Redgif also state in their api agreement that they have the right to start charging money for api access at any time.

You can probably see why I'm wary for adding support :)

Thanks for looking into it and I appreciate the integrity here. I'll just have to make that extra tap to access my uh, stuff.

It isn’t implemented.

Maybe someone else knows if it’s on the todo list?

Ok, thank you. I'm sticking with Voyager anyway, but it would be a nice feature to have.

It’s now implemented!
