Left reddit ages ago when boost was taken away.

Im aware that its likely more of an app issue, but Universal GIF and Video Standartification is a must at this point. There is literally nothing more annoying than that and I genuinely see it as Lemmys current biggest hurdle. We can’t be a proper site or competition to other simular sites if something like GIFs and Videos basically never work properly.

If there is one thing thats comically inconsistent and in desperate need of work done to it, it be GIFs and Videos. It seems with everything uploaded you get a different result. We really need some standartification when it comes to it

As a mod for that community I can assure you thats not even the main reason. Thing simply is it doesn’t fit with lemmy.world. ani.social is the place where a community like this not only fits but also would do a lot better in the long term. It would also help with debloating lemmy.world as its already way too big for its own good. Couple all that with not spamming local, moving to ani.social has been long overdo

You could probably just block ani.social and that be it. Im already in talks with the owner of touchfluffytail to move it there for that very reason actually

I’ve used Boost since launch and never once seen something like that happen
