While I am pro loop cause it’s federated,
Why doesn’t it play like a normal video with seekbar and full screen?
How are you watching? On Firefox desktop there is an embed in the post with seek and full screen. In the summary view for the funny@ comm there is a thumbnail and link only, unlike catbox.moe embeds, which displays embedded video as you scroll. On Voyager it's just a thumbnail in the comm view and the post, no embedded video anywhere. I don't have any other clients installed.
I use voyager and it’s a link that opens loops in safari.
I mean, it works as in it plays, but I’m guessing it’s trying to be like tik tok or something so it’s not a traditional video player?
Yeah like TikTok. Funnily enough the link opens in Firefox on android, not the loops app I have installed. Anyway, tested and not really what I was after.
