Autoplaying gifs are in fact small sized webp files that Lemmy natively supports.
But I agree that a inline video / gif viewer is mainly the last big thing I want in a Lemmy client. It's a burden having to tap to open them without any preview
Its that the channels that we watch news on have now been fragmented / specialized to the point where we can "watch the news" and only get right wing propaganda.
Sorry my bad, I should have read your entire post.
What I would suggest though is to log in on the web interface and select every language (including "undertermined"), if you haven't tried already. I'm pretty sure that's what I did.
Have you checked your settings when logged in on the web interface? Be sure to select "undefined" as well as "English" (and others that might interest you)
