"Failed to retrieve Redgif video" error (lemm.ee)

Pretty much all posts linked to redgifs produce the same error, which messes with how the feed looks and loads. Incredibly grateful for all you've done with the app!

My browser also fails to open them, unless I make the following change:

NSFW WARNING!

Original link example: https://api.redgifs.com/v2/gifs/mediumaquamarinecharmingtahr/files/MediumaquamarineCharmingTahr-silent.mp4

Becomes: https://redgifs.com/ifr/mediumaquamarinecharmingtahr/

(Please forgive including NSFW link to demonstrate link modification)

There are 3 changes to the link: remove api, replace first two subdirectories with ifr, and remove last two items

Wanted to share in case anyone else has the same difficulty
