Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Autoplay Videos (startrek.website)

New to this whole Lemmy platform, but I'm liking it.

One problem I'm having is auto-play videos when I open some discussions. Not in the comments, but the post itself starts playing.

I'll skip my usual rant about what I think should be done to whoever decided to make that a feature, and just ask how to turn it off. I have "auto expand media" unchecked in my lemmy settings.

I appreciate any advice.

Thanks for the advice. I've never ever heard of Rust, but then I am a mere dabbler in programming.

I suppose an app may be my best bet.

Rust is very new, and not very common - in fact the language itself is not finished!:-)

Check out Voyager - it's a great app, and as James R. Kirk mentioned, you can check it out prior to download. In fact, here's the link to the example post I gave earlier with the auto playing video, except in Voyager it does not auto play:-).

That's a selling point if I ever saw one.
