I am curious about the lack of, like, gifs in the Fediverse. If that makes sense? I understand gifs aren’t even that efficient and really they are like MP4’s or something that we just call gifs, but either way, I am not seeing gifs or short videos in line when I’m scrolling around.
Is this a technical limitation of ActivityPub or is this something that an app like Artemis can address? I LOVED being able to full screen a gif on Apollo, put my thumb anywhere on the screen and drag and I could scrub the “gif”.
Eh, I kind of disagree. So far at least, there hasn't been a need until trolls show up. Lemmy and kbin need engagement and content, which apps will help immensely. I'm using both of them, but not as much as I used reddit because they aren't very mobile friendly at the moment for me.
Good moderation tools will take time to build. We need them before the trolls arrive. Ideally, Lemmy and Kbin should try reaching out to the larger mods of Reddit to get an understanding of what tools are needed/useful. That way those tools can get on the roadmap and start being created.
