I’ve seen only few GIFs on Lemmy. Most of them are just links but I’ve see a handful that were actually animated within the apps (I forget which app it was maybe Memmy). Is there a reason for the lack of GiFs?

    I’m going to test a thing, apologies if it doesn’t work for some users…

    Edit: It’s supposed to be a pug licking the screen clean. MP4 format though, no audio. Works on most Discord communities.

    Edit 2: I added a description for blind users. People in comments are saying it shows up in the web browser, but not yet in the mobile apps.

      I’m probably an idiot for clicking a random tinyurl link someone posted, but it didn’t work for me in either the image preview or opening the link (on an Android phone)

        Interesting. I found myself having difficulty retrieving the full link myself, but I guarantee it’s an innocent silly link.

        Lemme try again with the full link…
