Redgifs play in feed? (lemmynsfw.com)

I just switched to Voyager from Sync and I'm loving it so far! The only issue is Redgifs content doesn't play in my feed, it only shows the link. Is there a setting to enable this or is another solution possible? Thank you!

I just did a (re)search for "redgif" and this popped up prominently: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/nsfw_gifs

Thanks

I did a bit of research and it looks like in order to play videos with redgifs I'd have to apply for an api key.

Currently, Voyager (the app) never calls any endpoint that I own. There's no phone home at all in Voyager unlike some other Lemmy apps. Adding redgif support would mean that Voyager would have to phone home to get a client token because thats how the redgifs api works.

Redgif also state in their api agreement that they have the right to start charging money for api access at any time.

You can probably see why I'm wary for adding support :)

Thanks for looking into it and I appreciate the integrity here. I'll just have to make that extra tap to access my uh, stuff.

Could it work using temporary tokens? It looks like that may work without needing additional services. I don't know that it is intended for this kind of use but might be worth trying.

No, that’s designed for development not production.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
