@PhenomX6I loathe being compelled to visit a third party site when I'm doing #Fediverse stuffs, but when it comes to audio and videos, #Soapbox is one of the most capable of all Fediverse server platforms.

I can post a link to a podcast or song on a #FunkWhale server for example, and play it right here without ever having to leave my Gleasonator account - it handled such media better than pretty much any other platform, and even those that do accommodate in site viewing, Soapbox is much much prettier.

When it comes to YouTube, however, a trick i picked up in #Matrix, that also works in Soapbox, is to simply run it through a sanitizer like #Invidious.

Then i can play the video inside Soapbox.

This is handled automagically with #Fedilab if you're posting to a Soapbox Pub server.
