Anyone else having trouble with redgifs failing to load?
Anyone else having trouble with redgifs failing to load?
Starting today redgifs say "failed to load" and can't be viewed.
Yeah. It's starting to look like Sync is being ignored or abandoned
our daddy went out to get some milk 😢
This is my last month of Sync Ultra sub. It's only a few bucks a month and Sync is relatively polished but I rather the money go towards a actively developed app.
He usually disappears for a while. Pretty normal.
Ive been having issues where a lot of videos just straight up dont work
I use connect and not sync and have been having issues with a lot of videos too so I don't think it is just a problem with sync specifically
Eternity same issue.
Anything other than pictures has trouble. Gifs in the past few days have been worse than normal.
For me if I try to open them in browser, it shows this error:
{"error":{"code":"FileAccessDenied","message":"Access to this file was denied for your application.","status":403,"rtfm":"https://github.com/Redgifs/api/wiki/Embedding-gifs#file-access"},"docs":"https://github.com/Redgifs/api/wiki/Embedding-gifs#file-access"}
Hmm by that last link it looks like sync isn't on the list of whitelisted sites. Granted, it's not a site, but an app. Seems like we need some kind of authorisation.
I had that issue a month or so ago, so I switched to Boost. It's not the same, but there's enough settings to customize it and make it close enough. Kinda a bummer, I've used Sync for many years, but Lemmy is evolving fast enough to require an actively maintained app.
If Sync starts getting regular updates again, I would probably switch back.
Lots of them pop open in Safari with an error. I can’t recall the exact text but it’s something about RTFM with regard to imbedding.
I frequently have that problem with redgifs on the website too. Even when I go directly to redgifs. Just earlier today, I was browsing and more than half the gifs I was trying to view failed to load, or were very slow to load. I've been having this same problem with redgifs for as long as redgifs has been a thing. I don't think the issue is with Sync, but with redgifs.
Thanks for the explanation! I hadn't considered that
Yeah, many failed GIFs here too.
Okay. No horny on main here, but what gif isn't loading? You throw out redgifs you gotta own up.
