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?
But this one does.
Oh shit it works by placing link to gif in parenthesis with an exclamation point and brackets before

This one doesn’t show up for me.
It’s a cat squirrel fox thingy
Just because it’s a pet peeve of mine - if by GIF you mean an actual graphics interchange format image, please don’t use it. It’s a dinosaur.
Use what instead?
webm is a good choice
I guess I mean a short looping animated image with no sound (or sound off by default)
Because Lemmy hasn’t been ruined quite yet
For those that don’t know, you can use gifs with the url/link Markdown format like this:

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.
