    Well, that’s incredibly irritating. It’s a PeerTube instance, and I paste the link into the PeerTube app, and it fails.

      Yeah, I think the official android app is pretty bad, sadly, from all I have heard. Not all the devs fault - I heard they had problems with apple/google app store rules, where they were under extra scrutiny to only allow videos from a “vetted and moderated search index” or something to be allowed on their app. (ludicrous, IMO, that their project of all projects suddenly got scrutinised to that degree, compared to other shit on their stores)

      I think there were some decent FOSS app alternatives on F-Droid, but since I myself am 99% on desktop or use just vanilla Firefox mobile, I am sadly not a good person to recommend apps myself.

        I haven’t confirmed this yet but apparently if you install the app from fdroid you don’t have to worry about that mess with the moderated instances like you would if you installed it from the Google or Apple stores

          Oh, that would be a good way to use it then. Other than that, the official app isn’t too bad, from my cursory glance.

          EDIT: Although, I guess your problem may still happen, if the issue was actually unrelated 🤔
