Another word on a more upbeat topic.

First, I have a Giphy implementation in the works to add to Memmy. In terms of privacy, I have taken steps to mitigate tracking that comes along with the use of a Meta product while also helping to allow users to communicate with more than just text.

Giphy has a SDK already made for React Native. Unfortunately, it has some “analytics” wrapped in. The API itself can be used without those analytics, but that comes at the cost of the almost certain tracking they do with just the searches and your IP.

As a result, this is what I came up with:

1. You submit a search for a GIF (think Discord’s GIF search
2. The request is sent to a Memmy server which then processes the request for you
3. You receive a response with both the direct URL to each of the GIF results as well as a proxy URL. All of the results are displayed to you through the proxy.
4. When you select a GIF, the direct link is added to your post or comment as an image embed.
5. In a future update, there are plans for Lemmy to offer built in proxying of images. Hopefully this will be available soon. However if it is not, for 30 minutes the GIF you added to the comment will continue to be proxied through Memmy so as not to create an immediate link to you creating the request for the image.

This is somewhat similar to the Signal implementation of Giphy some time ago. I’m focused on cleaning up some other issues right now, but I’d like to add this in sometime in the near future. Will keep you posted.

It seems like the videos I’m not too interested in watching thing always work. When I really want to see it, nope.

I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Either that or an elitist whose goal is “to appear rich”. Like, the flagship models of the major Android phones are the same price if not more, but for some reason having an Apple device is just some sort of status symbol.

Do you mean APY? Even if, none of the major banks have offer the best APYs. Yea, a local credit union probably doesn’t either (usually the online-only banks) but regardless.

Not to mention the big banks are going to take money from you for things like transfers, monthly fees, etc.

Thank you :) you won’t be let down for your patience!

Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you’re paying $20 for an app if that’s what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that’s great, but I’m sure some people also don’t. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.

He kind of looks like he would mod the jailbait sub…
