    Me struggling how to link to the creator’s original source without exposing Lemmy users to Meta.

      Yeah, I even clicked instagram link because I thought maybe it would play, but it seems you have to be logged on and I’ve never had credentials. There are sites that give read-only access these services without logging in, but sometimes even some of those want you to subscribe and pay.

      It’s nice to just have a straightforward link that plays, so thanks.

        It plays fine for me without being logged in (desktop not mobile), but I did have to click “x” on the login popup. Can’t browse the profile or anything else, though. But yes, Imginn is great. Highly recommended.

          So I tried again. Turns out that I had to hit an inconspicuous “continue on the web” link first and then it let me watch. Honestly, I don’t usually click links to meta, twitter, or any of them. And when I do, if they don’t play immediately, I just close the tab and move on with life. Haha.

            One of these days I’ll set one of those redirect extensions…
