anyone else having problems with redgif videos never loading? (lemmy.ca)

So I have subscribed to various NSFW subs, but all the posted redgifs in those subs never load, showing a black image with an eye with a line though it and NSFW below it.

When I click them, I immediately get an error that says " failed to load redgif video" though my phone does show network activity in mb/s range right after I clicked it.

Anyone else have this issue?

~~Update: I upgraded to the latest version and I can see redgifs videos in-app now. Now there's a new problem: hitting download on one of them in-app does nothing. It seems there's no option in settings to choose a download folder?~~ I didn't have storage permission activated. They save to internal/pictures/connect. An option to change this would be good.

Also, it seems to save them as a format that cannot be opened by any of my apps... Gallery, Gif Editor, YouCut, Video Convertor and VLC all can't open them. So a way to choose format for saving would be good.

I just noticed every video I've saved with Connect is the same size, 259 bytes. So I guess they're just empty files?
