Hey there,

I’m new to summit so please excuss me if this is an user error on my end…

The behavior I experience: Nsfw posts with images get displayed in the feeds, but for redgif posts I need to first open the post, then I see a warning about NSFW material, when I tab on that then the app shows me the video.

When I turn on NSFW mode the videos are still now displayed in the feed, but when I tab on a redgif post it at least shows the video immediately without me having to dismiss a NSFW warning.

This would be an okay solution for me, although the behavior still looks like a bug? But NSFW mode turns itself off every time I reopen the app, probably because the mode is intended to be a temporary override…

I’ve searched the settings for NSFW but all settings seem to be in order, otherwise the NSFW images shouldn’t show up in my feeds, no? NSFW filter is off, NSFW blurring is off, videos are on autoplay.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Besides this issue the app has been rock solid and highly performant in my testing so far, would love to make it my daily driver. :)

    Hi, why does redgifs site work on my lemmy account but not on my piefed account? When logged in to piefed the gifs do not embed, and since I Iive in a nanny state I get prompted by the redgifs blocked in your state thing.

      Sorry for the super duper late response here but the reason why is because Lemmy tells the client the content is a video while PieFed does not. The client relies on hints on the type of content for a post in order to display the post correctly. Now technically the client can just brute force every url to see what works but this would put more strain on the device.

      I think this is technically ok (modern devices can probably handle doing this work) but I think I have to draw a line here and say that it should be the server’s job to tell the client what the post content is. The client shouldnt need to be smart enough to guess what the content for every post is.
