I mocked up a better workflow for video in a mastodon mobile app. I’m not a developer, just a mobile user who wants to stay in their fedi app of choice (currently Moshidon) while enjoying multimedia content and not get booted out to a web browser every time I want to watch a video or listen to a podcast. I still have no idea how difficult or feasible it is to actually implement this concept.

I think it’s very important for fediverse mobile apps to support audio and video streaming to integrate with platforms like Peertube, Castopod, Bandwagon (once that gets going), etc.

    …huh? I just opened Moshidon and grabbed the first image that popped up on my timeline.

    a screenshot from Moshidon showing a preview of an image with several options, including the download button
