Huh. Good point. I kinda assumed differently. I have no doubt it’s heavily requested tho. Guess things just wont be as convenient.

Lemmy doesn’t really support embedding videos yet. It’s a highly requested festure so i think we can be assured it’ll be here within a future update.

Atm the only one we have I’ve seen is the Mysterious 3 day poop challenge. I believe we have yet to hear from this guy.

Apps are more customizable. The UI also tends to be better. The web app is fine but i find trying to upvote anything closes a post i just opened. Personally, i like seeing full images of things as I scroll by. So something like a webclient isnt very convenient and rather tedious. I’m using a whole bunch pf userscripts on my desktop to improve the pc experience, apps generally do that for me on android.

In the end, it’s user preference. I prefer Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder atm.

Try swapping on the Compact view in settings. That might be more what you’re looking for

Alternative to Youtube. A lot of youtube creators advertise it since they get more out of it and aren’t under youtube’s guidelines. It’s a 5 dollsr a month thing iirc, but you could do something like CuriosityStream + Nebula for 15 a year.

You’re a legend, and you haven’t even done it yet. Congratulations, please don’t resist
