I think they can fix the way we reply. Make it more like Twitter just to make it even better in that regard.

@Woji @[email protected] yeah that'd be nice. and gifs!
@SophiaNyx @RetroGameBrews
Yep it need sprucing up and it needs more of us from Twitter who interact.

@Woji @[email protected] more cool people need to be here
Bendo2Levi@SophiaNyx @Woji @RetroGameBrews i do miss the gifs. I also can't post videos so my artwork screen recording or guitar riffing. I'd have to host on like YouTube of vimeo...ugh

You can post gifs and also videos. It only depends on the client you use. But for videos I can say that it's quite counterproductive as you're using small servers here with limited capacity and bandwidth. That's what youtube or vimeo were designed for. If you don't want the whole world to see them just set them to "not listed" so only people with the link can watch them. Nothing speaks against using youtube.

@T_Error @SophiaNyx @Woji @RetroGameBrews I tried a couple times with small 1 to 2 minute videos even at lower quality. And they crashed the app. Haha.
Also meant that there isnt a gif tool in app so I have to download them from Google first. Just an extra step that I'll adjust too. I genuinely enjoy it here tho as I'm making connections with new folks
@Bendo2Levi @SophiaNyx @Woji @[email protected] I'm using the mastodon app for android on my Samsung phone and I can insert gifs as usual over tenor button on the on screen keyboard. The fact that bigger videos fail to upload should indicate you that this is not what mastodon is meant for. Even twitter only allows 2 minutes long videos. Just upload them to youtube as it is intended. Ever uploaded a big video and have seen how long it takes those big servers to process the video?
@Bendo2Levi @SophiaNyx @Woji @[email protected] here is a proof that video uploads do work

@Woji @Bendo2Levi @SophiaNyx @[email protected] A singer and songwriter from the 70s. Here is his famous cover art.
Sumocat_Retro@Bendo2Levi @T_Error @SophiaNyx @Woji @RetroGameBrews Mine kept crashing trying to upload a 100kb image, had to swap in a 50kb version and it worked lol. Although it does seem to be working better now!
@Bendo2Levi @T_Error @Woji @[email protected] yeah. it's neat that i can google a gif save and then add, but I'm on twitter all day so I'm used to being able to search in app. quick and convenient. discord also allows this. I bet others do too
@T_Error @Bendo2Levi @Woji @[email protected] not actually an in app gif search, just the one on your phone. twitter has both. still good news
@SophiaNyx @Bendo2Levi @Woji @[email protected] Do we really need this feature twice? I as a developer also wouldn't include it as every phone has this feature built-in for years now. Just my two cents. No offence.
@T_Error @Bendo2Levi @Woji @[email protected]
knowing they have it at all is great news for me. i love adding gifs. my account on twitter is a movie question account. and when hundreds of replies are pouring in, i can respond in a more entertaining way with a gif than just "oh cool!"
i'm not expecting to grow a big following here, we're just a group of pals stumbling in the dark, trying to figure this site out.
