Request: Can we please whitelist one or more Rimgo instances for embedding images/videos in comments?
List of Rimgo instances, along with their data collection policies: https://codeberg.org/rimgo/instances#clearnet
I understand that we want to limit which sites are whitelisted for embedding, given embedding's history of abuse after Hexbear started federating, but since Imgur is already whitelisted, maybe Rimgo is okay to whitelist, too?
More info: I use Imgur to share videos with sound in Hexbear comments, because we cannot upload videos directly to Hexbear. Example:
However, Imgur often does not work for me (and likely many other Hexbear users) due to it often blocking VPNs. For that reason, I personally have the LibRedirect extension installed, which redirects any Imgur link I visit to a Rimgo equivalent (example: https://rimgo.kling.gg/aDD5Cf9.mp4). However, because Rimgo is not whitelisted for embedding, using it directly on Hexbear does not work:
.
On a side note, if https://catbox.moe/ becomes whitelisted for embedding, we would not need to use Imgur or Rimgo anymore for video hosting. Catbox is generally better than Imgur for video hosting, since Imgur limits videos to 1 minute.
