Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.
I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.
Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.
For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.
Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.
Try using imgchest for now as it expands inline and play (unlike redgifs links where you have to click into the post to be able to expand/play inline within Lemmy. Having to navigate back and forth between a post and back main listing page is effectively the same as having to go to redgifs site).
The downside is that imgchest only allows up to 30MB for video clips, so not quite the same quality level as redgifs - but you are also not hampered by redgifs’ lame requirement to provide mandatory “tags”).
Lensdump does not allow videos, afaik. [Addition] Lensdump is good for images, as when you retrieve the Embed image links for posting, you can choose normal or mid-res quality type url. Example
[Update July 9] with 0.18.1 update, redgifs links now can be expanded and played inline, so much better!
This is good info. > lensdumps
Would be nice if we had something like RES on desktop to help but we can’t have the world overnight.
