In the jerboa app the video plays automatically, but i can’t see a way to pause the video, just a mute button.
I’ve never seen a video play like this in the Jerboa app, so i’m guess this was that update earlier this week?
Have i missed something? Is there a pause function, or something in settings that stops the autoplay?
The biggest problem is not the domain registering. We already link all “popular” lemmy instances through a script. The hard part is rather the id of that link is local to the instance. If ur on lemmy.world and click on lemmy.ml post we would need to translate the id of lemmy.ml to the id that it would be on lemmy.world. (This is possible) But a lot of work to hook that in correctly. We would need to intercept the link at the right place. Further if the post hasn’t federated yet. We would need to switch to that instance (lemmy.ml) to then show the post.
Aha, did not know that the id was unique to that instance. But makes sense as it is just a number and not an uuid or similar so it would have to be synced.
I don’t know anything about the source but couldn’t you just open it in anonymous mode or something via the host’s api? Would be better than browser
Yes we could but the “complex” part is the"link intercepting" part.
Jerboa still has a lot of issues, it just hasn’t been priority yet.
