Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.

I know there's been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it's been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.

Here's a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.

For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.

Also, there's another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.

I asked @[email protected] a couple weeks ago about possibly having RedGifs links fully working with proper embedding (like on reddit). Not sure if the recent changes about the instance admins will have any impact on this kind of things, so I'm posting this just to check if it's something that it's still being worked on. Again, no rush :)

I'd definitely post more from there if the embed was as nice as e.g. using RES.

Very true. Currently Red gifs links are very cumbersome to view.

Yeah, same... I even opened a couple of communities I already mod on Reddit, but I don't feel like posting even in there because it seems kinda pointless if it just shows as a list of links. I like pictures but porn is at its best in video form imho... and right now there is no good enough way to post a porn clip, which is definitely an issue on a porn-focused instance...

This is a core lemmy enhancement we'd have to make. I'm looking into better video handling, but the core dev team would need to accept that code change. If you're using an app you'll need to raise this with the app developer.

I'm talking about the web version, which for the time being I think will be the most used by a lot of users as apps are still a WIP.

I thought this could be added with a UI patch like the other post view settings like blur NSFW and auto expand, but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, again, I'm not asking for an ETA or something like that, it's just to point out one missing thing that I think would be really great to make more people posting content and even more staying here to watch it :)

Yeah kinda odd that such a basic function of a link aggregator site like this doesn't work.. that's going to be a huge barrier to adoption and new users.
