It’s been great 4 days here on fediverse for me. But I started to notice that there is barely any content in form of videos or gifs. Every content is just static in form is images or text. This is what I am really missing here compared to reddit. Is there any particular reason behind it?

Since it sounds like you have auto media preview turned off, just tap that little icon to the left of the link, and you’ll see the image load below the link.

Oooooo… Yes that’s it. Thank you. That’s a good protip. I’m assuming that’s a setting that I probably turned off while trying to make the the All page be more compact.

Edit: I don’t know where that setting is. It’s not in my profile settings.
