When I’m viewing community https://ani.social/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, with personal setting “Auto Expand Media” turned on, one particular post is asking me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com: https://ani.social/post/1923262
After declining the download, the space for the expanded media is just blank.
This doesn’t happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
On .ml, I just get a screenshot of the video.
It’s just that one post.
On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get a screenshot.
Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?
Yep, that was it. The file downloaded at the /c/ level after checking that box for this instance and didn’t for the ml instance. I tried to check how the behavior is different on the world instance where I have an account, but saw that option isn’t there since they are still running lemmy 0.18. So, it seems like that is a recently added option, perhaps some lemmy version differences that aren’t visible just through the version number at the bottom of the page?
Alternatively, the only other thing I could think of is some weird webserver setting differences. I only know enough about nginx configs to get myself in trouble, so I can’t even begin to try to diagnose it though.
