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

NSFW 8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

There are some changes you can make to the URL to get to it. I'll find one and demonstrate, just a min

(Copied from another comment)

My browser also fails to open them, unless I make the following change:

NSFW WARNING!

Original link example: https://api.redgifs.com/v2/gifs/mediumaquamarinecharmingtahr/files/MediumaquamarineCharmingTahr-silent.mp4

Becomes: https://redgifs.com/ifr/mediumaquamarinecharmingtahr/

(Please forgive including NSFW link to demonstrate link modification)

There are 3 changes to the link: remove api, replace first two subdirectories with ifr, and remove last two items

Wanted to share in case anyone else has the same difficulty
