It’s been great 4 days here on fediverse for me. But I started to notice that there is barely any content in form of videos or gifs. Every content is just static in form is images or text. This is what I am really missing here compared to reddit. Is there any particular reason behind it?
For the longest time Reddit only supported media through external sites (Imgur, copy, etc).
Memmy (iOS app in beta) supports uploading media to Imgur and then inserting the link, much like Apollo did; hoping to see that extended to other hosting sites as well
Personally I think that hosting media is not the right move for Lemmy/kbin. Creates a long term never ending cost and liability. Reddit worked fine without hosting for a decade.
