All gifs posted through redgifs show up as links that open the gif when clicked but offer no preview.

On iOS, Liftoff app plays the videos in the feed. It’s not perfect (no scrolling, loading times etc) but it’s the least worse experience.

That says a lot. If I click into a post or change app and go back it reloads the content I was browsing so I have to start scrolling again.

Actually making it usable requires a lot of restraint.

Kudos to the (former) Reddit app developers who made these experiences so great.

Wish it was an easy job to convert those apps to support lemmy

on Android I use Liftoff and it can load Redgifs in the feed. The problem it has is that you cannot make them full screen, but I hope they add that option soon

Are you viewing them here, on pornlemmy, or other instances?

I'm viewing them from pornlemmy.

So, you're visiting pornlemmy.com using a browser, either on your phone or laptop, and you're not seeing redgifs previews. You've created a user - please go to https://pornlemmy.com/settings and make sure that "Auto expand images" is checked.
