One of the only things I find myself missing about reddit is the videos. I’m aware that it’s not really feasible for videos to be hosted on a lemmy instance at the moment, but I’m curious if that might change

        Because it’s a data hog for mobile users, but mostly because it’s intrusive to the browsing experience.

          This should just be something that mobile clients can turn off by default.

          So having an image/thumbnail with a “play” button is intrusive? I can see how some people might find it annoying (or perhaps even intrusive), but we already have embedded images which are exactly the same until pressed.

              That’s fair.

              In that case, perhaps you (if you find it annoying enough) could open a feature request ticket on your favorite app to “Add option to disable inline/embedded Media”. It appears that you are not the only one with this issue, and I don’t mind having a more complete user experience with more options.

      If there’s enough people that find it useful, it could at least be an optional setting. It’s really a client thing, though, nothing to do with Lemmy itself.
