God tiktok is so annoying. Why can't I just view this one video and move on

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 hours ago

I assumed that they didn't want me to view it, so I took the hint and moved on.

If I really want to view it, I download the video with yt-dlp.

Same. I host a very simple frontend app on my server with yt-dlp backend. Copy-paste URL and that's it. Don't even have to download to my phone.

Whats the setup? Do you have a github or codeberg repo?

[–] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 1 points 31 minutes ago

It's a Docker container called Media Roller (I'm not the dev). I don't expose it to the outside, just for personal use, so I don't need to fiddle with apps on my phone.

I usually just open links in the browser, generally I have to go to desktop mode and it will play, at least for twitter, tiktoks, and facebook stuff the family sends me
