As far as I know this is a big downside to gossip

Literally my favorite thing and why it's so fast.

i like it cuz it doesnt make my ancient laptop fan go crazy like when opening up nostur or primal or other nostr webapp, plus its the only app besides nostur that supports private custom feed

Same.

Sure, yes it is. However it’s not the best option for anyone even slightly new.

Let them use Primal.

well then

have you tried more-speech app by nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft ? this might be faster & nerdier (lol) https://youtu.be/q3gQ42aUhls

Images load if the URL ends in an image extension like .jpg, .png, etc. Otherwise gossip doesn't know what it is (it doesn't download every link and check, that would be madness). So it shows SOME images, but not all.

If you compile it yourself you get videos too with ffmpeg. But videos require a lot of system libraries of very specific versions and so it's very hard for me to include that into release packages as my compile won't work on other people's systems that aren't precisely where my system is.
