Yeah, I even clicked instagram link because I thought maybe it would play, but it seems you have to be logged on and I’ve never had credentials. There are sites that give read-only access these services without logging in, but sometimes even some of those want you to subscribe and pay.
It’s nice to just have a straightforward link that plays, so thanks.
It plays fine for me without being logged in, but I did have to click “x” on the login popup. Can’t browse the profile or anything else, though. But yes, Imginn is great. Highly recommended.
So I tried again. Turnes out that I had to hit a “continue on the web” button first and then it let me watch. Honestly, I don’t usually click links to meta, twitter, or any of them. And when I do, if they don’t play immediately, I just close the tab and move on with life. Haha.
