      I think Lemmy UI will treat these as embeds. If not, i’ll note just in case.

          So did I, lol. If you use the image syntax for audio/video files, they should embed in most some Lemmy clients. I was trying to be all fancy.

          Edit: Apparently media embeds work in less Lemmy clients than I thought.

            I think it’s asking a lot - it’s not unreasonable for libraries to convert the markdown format for embedded images into IMG SRC, but then the clients can’t play them because they’re not images. Ideally, I think, there should be different markdown for embedded videos and audio (but it doesn’t look like there’s anything official).

            These clips play for me on PieFed, but only because after the markdown translation, they get regexed into the correct AUDIO tags.

              Agreed, Yeah, there should be a dedicated syntax for media embeds. Lemmy-UI uses markdown-it and the extension markdown-it-html5-embed which is what extends the image syntax for audio/video. I duplicated that in Tesseract for feature parity, and Photon did as well. In both cases, we had to custom write renderers to match the Lemmy-UI syntax which is, for better or worse, the “standard” for Lemmy.

            Trying in this space so as not to fuck up the original.

            or ?

            Connect doesn’t like it, but do you see anything?

              It sort of works in Mlem. I have to use Quick Look, but it works.

              Yep shows as embeds for me. I use Tesseract, but I tried in Lemmy UI, and it embedded there too. The first one is my general notification sound. I updated my earlier comment with direct links as well as the embeds.
