Not from the app. It’s a setting readily available on boost for reddit, missing entirely from boost for lemmy (please, correct me if I’m wrong, I checked everywhere).
I’m not familiar enough with lemmy to tell you the why. May be instance specific? May be Lemmy specific? May be planned for a future version? Dunno.
Coming over from boost from reddit, which only shows gifs in comments as a small square (tappable to show the .gif), I am absolutely heartbroken to see that Lemmy boost actually supports them. I’ve never wanted to see a reaction gif in a comment. Never will. It’s IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented and something...
Major? Nah. But I would’ve preferred it if the feature was never implemented in the first place, so I’d love a setting to de-implement it.
Ruben isn’t your run of the mill dev. His track record for implementing requested features is long. Why not make the request and see what happens?
Edit: Besides, my most used apps are, according to Nova, Boost and Boost. Discontinued boost doesn’t have the issue and he’s probably never going back to it even to fix what little things Reddit broke. Inline gifs used to be a planned feature, though and he’d have already implemented it if not for Reddit’s fuckery and you’d see the exact same post on the subreddit. Continued boost has it, so you see it here.
I concede, their worst feature is new.reddit, but Firefox for android implemented full addon support a few months ago, a workaround before that and I don’t even remember how long tampermonkey has been in the recommended list, so I have no interaction with that trash. Any other little annoyances, like breaking up comments to recommend you posts have been trivial to circumvent.
Both long press and tapping the address in the popupp, and clicking the link you posted leads me to the same thing as in the screenshot I posted.
I am on boost 1.0.12 (15) from GPlay
Edit: I can open them /c/ tapping its name in the post and find the May 19 thread, and open it. No /u/Baku, no “calculator” to be found. Can do a screen record if wanted .
Good question. Should be. Stuff as seemingly simple as converting a couple dozen text documents to pdf requires it if you don’t want to sit around for an hour, clicking away. Many such examples.
Can I update it from the inbuilt update tool in Firefox?
Universally regarded as a bad idea on Ubuntu based distros as far as my research goes.
Probably a PEBKAC issue…
Staying on the OTB repos in LTS distros and then complaining about software being slow to update is like staying on the OTB mirror, and then complaining that your download speeds suck.
I’m a Linux noob through and trough, use Glorious Mint, but like… How to get a newer version of VLC, than distributed by upstream is probably the first thing I figured out how to do.
Dunno, but in every forum I’ve looked, people say not to use it, but let the updates go through the package manager. Sometimes even on threats of FUBARing your system. Could be that all these people are giving old info that’s not true, but I never tried it - don’t wanna go on the forums and start the thread with “I explicitly did what people say not to. How fix?”
Oh, that makes sense, thank you. I’m really happy with mint. Pretty sure switching to the nightly repos got me most of what I need, for the rest there’s PPAs. Rolling release sounds tempting sometimes, trying out Plasma on a distro that supports it is also tempting, but so far I can’t be bothered. Mint seems to just work. :D
Not old, either. My old desktop that I gave to my younger brother has an optical drive. Whenever I have spare money laying around to build and a place to put a desktop, it’s going to have an optical drive. Not having one, at least somewhat reachable makes me anxious. I use it probably less than once a quarter, more like twice yearly, but when I need it, I need it.
