This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, but you weren't accessing those sites from a computer that fit in your pocket and that you carried around with you at all times.
Not at all, a magazine is basically a computer but with faster data access speeds while sacrificing some read/write capabilities.
Also, like Lemmy, video is not supported.
What do you mean by video not being supported on Lemmy?
Jokes aside, seems to be an issue with apps supporting it, because it does work on the web app which means Lemmy itself does support it.
That isn't Lemmy, that is just your client.
oh ok thx
Linking off site works, but try uploading an .mp4 or even an animated .gif directly to a Lemmy instance. Most don't support it, and the ones that do had to add the functionality themselves.
I have uploaded many animated .gif and .webp just fine, though I didn't try uploading mp4 because if it somehow works I don't want to waste storage from the instance I'm on with videos
GIF (sorry that was the last one I got saved)

For @festnt@sh.itjust.works it also didn't load and you both seem to not be using the default lemmy interface which seems to be the common factor, if you come on this thread in the default lemmy interface you can see both https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622
I guess both interfaces of you two dont support video embeds, maybe someone didn't report this issue yet in their repo
Forgot to mention but .mp3 is also supported
Weird, it's saying the videos are an image to you? What client or web interface are you on?

Not until Blackberries and the Sidekick were a thing.
Ahem.... Atari Portfolio + Serial adapter + accoustic coupler and every phone cell let you connect to your BBS of choice
The internet had a phone number! You had to call in, and pay by the minute!
