anyone else having problems with redgif videos never loading? - eviltoast

So I have subscribed to various NSFW subs, but all the posted redgifs in those subs never load, showing a black image with an eye with a line though it and NSFW below it.

When I click them, I immediately get an error that says " failed to load redgif video" though my phone does show network activity in mb/s range right after I clicked it.

Anyone else have this issue?

    Hasnt worked for me for months, get infinite loads or straight up error. Just updated to latest on play store and tried a few links, getting the infinite load.

    Still my favorite Lemmy app

    Edit: oh actually new version introduced an issue with all images, they load in stretched vertical and squished at first and take a set to go to the right size

      Which version are you seeing stretched images on? Is that in card view?

      I’ll do some more investigation into the infinite load. Please bear with me!

        I’m using list reverse. Seems to be related to loading. If I scroll fast it sometimes happens in the preview image too. If I wait a bit before going to open an image it doesn’t occur.

        Where do you find the version number?

        Edit: just dm’d you a screenshot of it occurring

        Think I found the version in app settings. 1.0.182

        Edit edit: Kept trying more links, it’s not 100 % reproducible but I haven’t noticed a pattern. For samples, this link doesn’t work, (NSFW), but the other post in here talking about the address changes works
