Or enable "auto play gifs" in Jerboa's settings
Thanks. Same for Voyager.
Huh? Voyager loads it just fine on my pixel fold.
Maybe it's a hardware-limitation?
Auto-loading GIFs is a setting in Jerboa, might be the same for Voyager.
It also loaded automatically for me on Voyager. Maybe it's an instance thing?

If I don’t tap the image, it doesn’t animate.
The thumbnail was animated in voyager on iOS for me.
It's animated on Connect
And here I am rawdogging lemmy with Firefox and everything works. 🤷♂️

oops. thanks
I only know one guy who has a folding smartphone. It's broken now. What a stupid idea.
I've had mine for about 4 years now, I love it.
I've had the inside screen replaced once now under extended warranty. I'd still buy another folding.

Lol, I'm on my second one, neither broke/is broken
It's not a stupid idea, being able to have a small tablet whenever you need is amazing
It's the only tablet I actually use instead of just collecting dust within a couple weeks of getting it because it's never where I am when I need it the most.
It's a great idea. I have the Motorola razr 2024 and it's a horizontal hinge like a normal flip phone instead of a vertical one. It's compact and I can use 100% of the smart phone features without even opening it. It's the ultra compact smart phone I've been searching for for years.
This seems like the better direction. I'd rather have a phone that turns into a pocket watch than a tablet that turns into a phone.
Now you know two who've had one. I'm typing on my Galaxy Z Flip3, which I bought in December 2021. No problems yet.
I'm on my second, first Fold 3 and now Fold 5. Assuming they continue to gain traction, I don't know if I'll ever go back to a non-foldable.
The only issue I've had is the internal screen protector (installed in factory by Samsung) started to peel up in the middle/fold crease. Got it replaced for free under warranty.
I'll probably use this one until it starts to show wear and look into a different brand to get away from Samsung. My current plans are something like a OnePlus Open or Pixel fold and use Lineage or Graphene.
Had it for 4 years its the best
My wife has a z flip 6 and it works great. She had a 3 previously and never had any issues either
I have the same phone and I love it. So small in my pocket.
I bought a 2 year old refurbished Z Fold 2 two years ago and it's still going strong. If you treat your device with respect you'll have no trouble.
Wife has one and she loves it.
I love my Z Fold 4. Never going back to a non-foldable ever again. It's so convenient being able to view websites in desktop mode without scrolling. Or view restaurant menus full-size. Or show a video or picture to someone on a giant screen that fits into my pocket. The possibilities are endless.

I know one guy who has a folding smartphone and it's not broken now. Where does that leave us
I think it's a fantastic idea. Wanted one since Samsung showed an S4(?) clamshell.
But they still have too many issues for me. I look forward to when it's a standard thing, so the OS and apps work correctly.
Just sold my Samsung galaxy z fold 4. After a year of owning it, it stopped opening completely flat. Went back to my S21 Ultra which is generally just a better device.

Same, lasted about a year and a half at most. Was replaced with non folding.
The ones I've seen end up with a big crease in the screen. Not enticing.
This has been solved for a while now at least for Samsung.
At about a year and a half now with my Z Fold 5. Echoing many of the others here. Still works great, opens flat, and I never want go back to a non-foldable.
I have a pixel fold. You know two people now.
I've had my fold3 over three years now. Once a year the inner screen protector has to replaced, that costs something like 25 euros. Apart that, the concept is great and I've had zero probs. As my phone is already like 4 years old overall, the camera on it not that great nowadays, especially in low light.

Love my z fold 6. Getting the first foldable phone....yeah that would be questionable but they worked it out I think. I love mine.
I like my zfold 6, but the main downside is that it's made by Samsung. They've switched to a locked down bootloader over the past few years and you can't get GrapheneOS or LineageOS to run on it.
Because of this, once software updates stop being supported by Samsung, the phone increasingly become a security liability. Meanwhile my old S10e does support these 3rd party OS's so I can theoretically keep using it safely for several more years
Completely agree that's the rub. Samsung product.

Work had me procure flips and folds for QA. I got to briefly and test drive them before I handed them over.
I expected to flip to be useless in the fold to be drool worthy for having a mini tablet sized screen
I carried the fold for a few days, having screens even in candy bar mode meant that I was constantly worried about scratching it and it just had fingerprints everywhere all the time
It was uncomfortable to unfold it, and the aspect ratio was wrong for a lot of applications and websites.
The flip however folded up into a clamshell and fit right in my pocket like old days.
For the price, there's no way in hell I'm buying either but... Having a cell phone easily fitting in a pocket's pretty fucking cool
Having a cell phone easily fitting in a pocket's pretty fucking cool
For the price
The Motorola razr is about the same price as any non flippable flagship
I've broken so many of those old flip phones. the hinges were always some flimsy cheaply made shit causing the phone to break in two.
I had one moto razr and I did phone flip tricks with it all the time. If it didn't get dropped into the depths of the inlet while paddle boarding I'd still be fiddling with it

I actually broke an old school flip phone doing that once lol
I don't think the person who made the comic has used a foldy phone or used an old school flip phone. The reason we did that with the old school flip phones was because it was easy to do one handed and absent-mindedly, kinda like one of those spinner toy things
You can't actually get Foldy phones to do that, I've tried. I can only get it to close one handed, not open again
A Terminator model T-1000 could fold, too.
Yes, but at what cost. Oh, $1500USD more than the flip phone. I mean, that's like totally affordable.
The Song from Lolnein Its a YouTube vid (noting for all those that want to use their other front ends).
I have the flip 4 and it's a tough little nut to crack. Bastard still in one piece after 2 years of non stop work abuse
