You guys have sound? I can’t unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.
Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again
Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn’t play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn’t start, from the other times I recall.
Again being reminded to switch.
Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.
If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don’t like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There’s no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.
Let me give you examples:
This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:
Probably broken in most Lemmy apps.
And here’s a button, but in base64 so it’s directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:
Probably also broken in some apps.
These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn’t lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.
Very few things refuse to work on Firefox mobile. The one exception I’ve run across is trying to log into Google, which insists that I should use a ‘compatible’ browser. Like Chrome.
If I switch what user agent Firefox is reporting so that it LOOKS like I’m using Chrome, it works perfectly, surprise, surprise. I hate Google.

How have you not switched already?

Have you considered using a Lemmy app? I don’t have these issues you’re having in Voyager. You’re browsing Lemmy the hard way for no good reason.
Have you replied to the wrong person?
