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?

    An Owl that turns to the camera with a surprised face with the caption 'oh really?'

    For those that don’t know, you can use gifs with the url/link Markdown format like this: ![](https://media.tenor.com/uC2qyrJsT6wAAAAM/oh-really-o-rly.gif)

    Edit: added a description

    Make sure to include a description of it in the square brackets for our visually-impaired friends!

        I’m going to try to keep this more in mind in the future. I’ve edited my comments here to include a description.
