Redgif links all show as “failed to load media” both in the feed and when viewing the post. The only way to view the these links is to leave the app and open the post in a browser.

I remember they worked for a while so perhaps Voyager just needs a new API key or something.

    I haven’t opened voyager for a couple days now and the embeds still don’t work. When I first noticed the issue, I hadn’t used this account in weeks.

      Do you have a specific post example you can share?

        I find that anything by @dugmeup@lemmynsfw.com gives the error. I don’t need to tap the post to see the error either, it gives the failed to load media error in my feed, which is set to Large, and to blur NSFW.

        It’s only today that I’ve seen the error and been able to then use my PC immediately to check the post there and found out that it’s a redgifs link. Opening the post on Android still just shows the error, and not the link.

        Turning off Embed External Media shows the redgifs link instead, but I haven’t seen any other embedded media yet.

          Thanks for the report. I find this happens on voyager as well. I find the behaviour working on boost for Lemmy which is my primary tool.

            I forgot to mention that this is the native android app from Google Play. I’ve tried clearing cache, clearing all data, and even reinstalling voyager. I get the same results:

            • Log in
            • enable embedding external videos in settings
            • open the link on the op
            • tap the prompt to enable embeds from redgifs
            • immediately get “failed to load media”
