I mentioned this in a comment but I figured it would get lost there.

The recent update means redgifs videos now load (yay) but reveals a new problem: videos cannot be saved in-app. Attempting to do so (with file permissions enabled) instead saves a tiny file with the same name, but none of the data.

As redgifs disallows saving from their site in-browser, this effectively makes redgifs content unsaveable.

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the feedback! I’ve fixed downloading redgif videos on the beta channel and it should be making its way into the regular releases soon (maybe this weekend depending on some other fixes).

    If a site doesn’t provide a native method of downloading, it sounds like a challenging feature to add to a Lemmy app. Perhaps yt-dlp might be a workaround, but not sure how feasible it would be.
