I don’t even know how to properly configure it on my own instance. I thought I had configured it properly to handle large gifs, but then it still doesn’t work sometimes for some random reason.
Doesn’t make it easier that lemmy uses pictrs 4 when pictrs 5 is currently the stable version. But I have no idea if Lemmy can handle that.
Afaik, Lemmy only supports static images. Even uploading a .gif results in a non-animated image.
All you can do is link to a video hosted elsewhere.
Do I look like a know what a gif is
You can hotlink gifs. Don’t upload them since it will load them in the video player. It you use
that will hotlink the gif.
Gifs can be uploaded but there’s a low size limit. Still trying to figure it out. Probably varies by instance.
That appears to be true seeing as @Deceptichum uploaded a working .gif to their instance. I guess the ones I’ve tried were too big.
