Videos loading slowly on NSFW subreddits #908

Videos are loading slowly on NSFW subreddits such as /adorableporn, /dirtysmall etc. Redgifs and v.reddit hosts seem to be the problem in these subreddits. Videos and gifs have gif icon in the lower right but autoplay only plays after a minute or so. During the time if you tap on the thumbnail only the still image shows. After the autoplay starts if you tap on the thumbnail only a black screen appears as image. Other normal subreddits are fine and videos load instantly, even v.reddit ones.

Same here. But the same Reddit’s play fine from the official Reddit app.

Also curious. When browsing nsfw Reddit’s which feature redgif videos using Apollo on my cellular plan, it all works fine. But when using WiFi on my provider (virgin media) it has the playback issue

Exactly same issue. I tried it with mobile data but it didn’t work.

I thought it was a dns issue so have been trying all the major providers but with no improvement.

I am having the same issue and it has gotten so bad that I am considering switching apps even though I love Apollo...
