  • The old gif format doesn’t support audio. Anything called gif with audio are mp4 video files. On the imgur site, you may have seen files with the extension gifv, but…

    Quote : “When you view a GIFV file on a website such as Imgur, you’re viewing a video file, which would normally have the file extension .mp4 or .webm. The server is configured to serve the video using the extension “.gifv,” but the video’s file format is unchanged.”

    Lemmy’s web instances do not display real videos. Also some applications, like Jerboa, do not display videos. Because of this, you have to convert the video to the outdated animated picture format - gif.

    This format appears in all applications and web instances, but does not contain audio.

    I think if we all flood the developers with requests for video support in Lemmy, things might change.












  • Guys, let me ask a question.

    How can you hide your comments from others seeing them?

    I started thinking about this possibility when I came across people’s profiles where comments were hidden. (Also, when clicking on “Send message” this option was not available.)

    I found the “Content visibility” and “Active in communities visibility” items in the settings (Account - Profile) and disabled them. Then I checked what my profile looks like from another application where I do not use my account. The result is that all comments are still visible.

    How do other users restrict viewing from comments and the ability to message them?
