Boost fails to open .mp4 for me. When I browse “All” there usually is some mp4 content, especially from … well … nsfw instances. Theese almost always fail and I see just black screen. Firefox on mobile opens it without a problem and so does Sync For Lemmy. Do you have this issue or is it just me? F.e. can you open this link?

I see this:
I don’t know if this is caused by instance or by Boost but as I said, Sync doesn’t have this problem. And I like Boost more
Boost has a lot of these bugs with video. It works on Cards 2.0 but craps out when you click or when you use swipe
It’s not a fun browsing experience. I still support Boost but on video heavy Lemmy communities it a pain.
Another issue is video uploads go to Imgur which is no good for anything remotely nsfw. It would be good if video uploads can go somewhere else.
That being said the upload, comment and view options are far superior to other apps + I really like boost so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
