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.
I get the frustrations of Moshidon. I couldn't save a picture from my mastodon account cause there was no direct download, and it took me like 40 minutes to figure it out, and even then I think I just screencapped and cropped it
...huh? I just opened Moshidon and grabbed the first image that popped up on my timeline.
That's funny, my phone is kinda small so I had to scroll that horizontal menu with the download button, over to the right to access that button 😆 Thanks for the screenshot
