I know how to add a picture but I was hoping there was a way to add a gif.

1 dayI know how to add a picture
GIFs are no different. It’s a very size-intensive format, though, and Lemmy will reject files over a certain size.
Yeah, exactly the same way to add a picture.
It just seems to be slightly buggy, need to try multiple times with pictures/gifs that have been on the device for longer time. No issues with pictures that i just downloaded.
Works even with giphy, in my experience (browser only)
You need to host the gif on another site like pixelfed, I think. Or imgur. Something like that.and use the input link icon when posting the comment.
catbox.moe works too. Although files uploaded anonymously that have not had a download/hit in over 2 years will be removed from Catbox.. which is weird that was not the default since the beginning considering they’re not like other image hosting sites size and funding.
Looking at the source of your comment, that’s WEBM in MP4 clothing.

Huh, I don’t know where to find the metadata like you did, @WhoIz. This one was for sure a .gif file.
I see a static frame of the gif in the comment and then click on it to fill screen and see the gif do it’s gif thing. *Still on Voyager client
