@sodiboo thing is, the average person doesn't even know what an mp4 is. the fact that anyone knows what a "gif" is, is a modern miracle. i have no idea how you beat that nomenclature.
i'm not gonna crucify you for neglecting alt text. but if you're literally just posting other people's stuff with no additional effort, i feel inclined to unfollow or mute you.
i'm having a hilarious tech problem with the bluesky app on android i'm sure y'all are gonna love
on my home network specifically, the app cannot fulfill network requests. there's no error, it just endlessly spins.
it does not matter if i am on a VPN, in fact VPNing to my house from elsewhere does not reproduce this issue. it's only while on my home wifi.
current semi-reliable workaround: open the app, swap to a networked app (this is important), wait a while, then swap back in. this works for exactly one (1) (☝️) render of the timeline, after which the app truly stops loading data for no reason :D
@ixhby your only solution (that i'm aware of) is a VPN configuration. i've duplicated my existing wireguard tunnel for home, but provided a local IP address instead.
