I’m trying to submit a direct link on lemmyshitpost but not one of my attempts has yielded a direct image link that actually plays the giffeo.
The gif
Links I’ve tried so far:
https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa (obviously not right)
https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.gif (doesnt play)
https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.webm (doesn’t load)
https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.gifv (doesn’t anything)
https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.mp4 (nope)
Anyone know how to direct link to an Imgur giffeo?
Try that: https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.mp4
Should embed as such
Weeeeird, I tried .mp4 and it didn’t play. I’m not sure what I did wrong but thank you!
In my client it shows up as a static image but I can get the actual video without loading into imgur in a web frame.
I’m not sure how Lemmy-UI will handle it.
When it fetches the metadata for the post Link, that’s the
embed_video_urlthat was returned from Imgur. Lemmy UI may not show the embed video but the thumbnail instead. You can always use image markup in the post body to embed it, though.
