One thing that keeps me on Sync for Lemmy is the handling of videos/gifs and how it is mostly the same as images.

Things I am looking for is:

  • Handle must videos in-app with the building player
  • Ability to zoom in on videos
  • Videos control that are on the bottom of the player and not overlayed on the video itself taking up most of the screen
  • Video control and pause also that does not darken the video.l
  • Show the video playing or a still of the video in the post card instead of just a link.l
  • Wide support for different sites
  • Support for redgifs

Also it is a plus if they support piefed account authentication, but it is not a deal breaker. I guess I can create another account if needed.

I think I tried all the Lemmy clients and I think none have the zoom stuff. That is the most important. I may have missed some config options, and I hope I did because it is really sad that with Sync but rotting and no app works quite as well as Sync for me.

Boost for Lemmy does all of those except for the zoom function on videos.
