I’ve been trying to post gifs, but the experience changes from mobile to desktop. Sometimes it appears and plays properly, sometimes it doesnt. Is there a best-practice that I should get used to for formatting, or is there a reliable image hoster that supports it in a way thats compatible with Lemmy?

I just want to share tha spinning mouse dammit

    Interesting! I tried uploading the same image and it became static (link). I think that seals it – definitely a backend issue. The question remains as to why that’s happening, but it’s definitely tied to something about the configuration of the user’s home instance. Credit where it’s due: exactly as you’ve suggested

      Your image appears static for me too!

      I’m a developer by trade, we tend to have relatively accurate hunches about these things haha
      Hopefully this is something that can be fixed (or at least toggled per-user) soon.
