This post is half a test for me to see how Lemmy is currently handling video and gif, but this also gives a nice visualization of a few of the major points of my big feather article I’ll post tonight or tomorrow.

I typically post using Liftoff, which seems to have no native video support and just links to an outside site. I also have Boost, which I think currently stinks for how I post, which stinks because I loved old Boost. I may try the straight World website to see what that does.

My questions to you guys:

Do you want video content? I feel some people do not like video for one reason or another. I usually fall into that camp because it’s much quicker to read something saved I don’t need to adjust my volume or worry about annoying people nearby.

Have you found a good way to post or view video or animation on Lemmy? In my past tests, I can post it fine from Boost, but not always see it or get thanks y, etc in Liftoff, and I’m worried I’ll post things that work well for a few of you, but annoy a good portion of the rest of you.

Let me know your thoughts!
