Temporary solution for Android users.
This essentially just opens the link once clicked, rather than showing it in the feed? So is almost the same as a browser opening and showing the content.
I feel like it's important to reduce friction for things like this, for both the user and the creators, as well as making the feed look better as you scroll, so you can see GIFs as they are posted rather than links.
Sync for Reddit was fantastic so I have faith that we will see similar features, even if not available on launch.
I'm someone who doesn't deal with that friction well. I'm glad to see you pushing for this because I specifically skip past redgif posts because I just don't like jumping back and forth from site to site
You should try it, you'll see it's not that bad. It has an overlay that pops up when you open a link with it, so it's actually a pleasant experience.
