"Failed to retrieve Redgif video" error (lemm.ee)

Pretty much all posts linked to redgifs produce the same error, which messes with how the feed looks and loads. Incredibly grateful for all you've done with the app!

Try again, there was a new update about this.

Definitely seems to work better/more consistently now

Just checking you’re not in a state that passed one of those draconian porn verification laws? Redgifs is following suit with whichever states PornHub is blocking. Try launching the lemmy page in your browser directly and see what you get too.

Good call, hadn't even thought of that as a possibility!But nope (thankfully!), in a sane, blue, porn-friendly state, and looks like everything works for me in my browser.

Any NSFW settings within the app which might be blocking them?

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, I can see all NSFW posts that aren't linked to redgifs and maybe 25% of redgifs links load correctly, but 75% stay loading until the "Exception: failed to retrieve..." pops up as a banner at the bottom of my screen.

Try opening external, then deleting the "api" at the front of the link.

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Opening external works; the bug is that the gifs don't load in the app
