Is that uploaded to lemmy or an off-site link? Linking off site works, but try uploading an .mp4 or even an animated .gif directly to a Lemmy instance.

For @festnt@sh.itjust.works it also didn’t load and you both seem to not be using the default lemmy interface which seems to be the common factor, if you come on this thread in the default lemmy interface you can see both sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622
I guess both interfaces of you two dont support video embeds, maybe someone didn’t report this issue yet in their repo

Weird, it’s saying the videos are an image to you? What client or web interface are you on?

That isn’t Lemmy, that is just your client.

It was a mp4 video and it displays fine for me, but heres a webm and tell me if you can watch this one

I see this one, but not the other one. Web interface, Firefox, Linux.

Try through this sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622 If it doesn’t also work from it then it may be your network blocking the video url origin domain or something of the sort. I’m on Librefox in Linux and checked with Firefox and both displays it fine

nope, same issue
klao@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Probably your interface, lemmy default interface seems to display dine .mp4 .webm .mp3 the devs maintaining the interface you’re using either havent been made aware of it not working or just simply need this compatibility to be ported over

Jokes aside, seems to be an issue with apps supporting it, because it does work on the web app which means Lemmy itself does support it.
