Thanks for posting.

Please remember to add the creators name to the post title, if you know it.

I don’t think it is from one. The artist is lvl, if you are looking for more of their work.

I used this website to convert a video file to a webp, and then uploaded the resulting file to catbox.moe. Finally, I submitted the catbox link as a link post.

The original video was a short (like six seconds?) soundless clip though. I’m not sure how well that method would work with something larger, or if I wanted to have sound. Hope that helps!

Creating private chat groups is another matter. I honestly think Matrix chat is the best approach for secure and private group connectivity in the FediVerse. Though some might argue for Signal.

I was just passing through and thought I would throw in my two cents on this, as someone with a bit of experience. Session and SimpleX both work as 'secure and private group chat' platforms, as they are E2EE and require no phone numbers/other private information. SimpleX is a little more feature rich, but I've found Session more stable (although SimpleX is improving. They also lack the geek-curve @[email protected] mentioned, as you don't have to do much more than pick a username to start chatting (unless you want to dig into all the technical settings). Depending on what you are looking for in a chat app, you may want to check them out.

e: fixed the link for SimpleX

Sure!

I don’t know. I was not able to find any more pages.

I suppose at the end of the day expectations and stereotypes on all 'sides' are what can lead to a lot of problems.

Agreed! I really have no idea why it is so rare... I often have to search really hard to find content of that sort. Another thing that really inspired this com was that most of softer content I could find often had the man/masculine partner (if one was present) more on the giving side of comfort/affection. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course, I just wanted to create a space that allowed for, and maybe normalized a little, masculine people being softer and vulnerable and cared for in a healthy way.

I’ll stop myself before I go on a rant

Ha! Maybe I should follow your example.

I’m glad you are enjoying it! A community like this was something I really felt was lacking (both here and on other platforms) so felt I should make one.

Agreed. If you believe a post does not follow rule 1 (like this one) feel free to report it so I am notified to take a look at it.

@[email protected] provided this guide in the comments of the original post:

I’ve only had success with posting links to animated WebP files, which preview and display correctly in the default web UI. It doesn’t seem to work perfectly across the variety of apps and their handling of images though.

I think @NotAGuyInAHat mentioned that they use EZgif to do it. I generate them locally with FFmpeg, though that’s a little technical.

Yes

I think that’s the artist’s name, but I’m having a bit of a hard time reading their signature, hence the ?
