Any plans to create expandos like Apollo had for pics and gifs? Some imgur content is practiacally unviewable on an iPad

3 years ago by Ilikecheese to c/voyagerapp

So I’ve noticed sometimes when I click on a link to a gifv that’s hosted on Imgur on my iPad it is so zoomed in I basically can’t see it all. The video fills up the entirety of my screen, and I can scroll up and down it, but I can’t see it all at once. I basically have to choose if I want to watch the top half of the video or the bottom, but I can’t see both. Here is an example (https://lemmy.world/post/928084)

I concede that this is most likely a problem because of safari and how it handles this format or something. However, this was never a problem for me in Apollo because of how Apollo had the preview expando type deal, so I could just click on the expando and watch the video right there in line. I can install the Imgur app and choose to open the link in that, but doing so means that all Imgur links get redirected to that app which means I end up having to hit the back button to go back to Voyager after every single time I click an Imgur link. I would prefer to not have to do that. I don’t suppose there’s any plans to add this type of functionality into Voyager so I can watch videos again like before?
