Can't embed from this mastodon server - funny meme (Original Post)

(9,810 posts)1. It's not hard to do. Hoping it will get a lot easier.
Take a screenshot, save it to a file and post it to some host.
Yes, it should be a lot easier.
But DU's code sometimes trips up on URL's that any old browser likes.

(9,810 posts)3. So I found out when I revisited it.
I right-clicked on the meme in Opera Browser (not sure if that's built-in or an extension I loaded) and it saved an mp4 (not a gif)
Given that I could do that, I don't know of a site that hosts videos that DU will embed. (other than you-know-what)
Admins say that they're working on embedding Mastodon.
Sorry about the goof. Maybe this advances things a bit further.
You might ask the administrators (top left sidebar on "desktop" DU ). Be nice. I am sure they're working on it!
