pixelfed

Video on pixelfed isn't great, the feature hasn't evolved as much as photos have.

We're changing that, a new video experience will be rolling out soon!

@pixelfed will looped videos have thumbnails now?

@liaizon Do you mean the Loops feature? We retired that, we do generate thumbnails + blurhash for videos if ffmpeg is enabled on the instance.

@pixelfed so how does one post a looping animation on Pixelfed now?

@pixelfed I was about to complain about this, u read my mind <3

@pixelfed
Does it have the feature where you can still buffer while being paused?

That's my biggest gripe with video players nowadays. No buffer and now I'm enslaved to play lots of 1 second chunks and 20 seconds of pause between each.

@pixelfed you do so much amazing work! Thank you!

@pixelfed so does this mean audio support is coming next? :blobderpy:

@pixelfed i am new to all this federation. I like it and made an own mastodon instance.

I am a photographer so I got curious. How can I hop on the pixelfed train?
