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?

I'm going to test a thing, apologies if it doesn't work for some users...

Edit: It's supposed to be a pug licking the screen clean. MP4 format though, no audio. Works on most Discord communities.

Edit 2: I added a description for blind users. People in comments are saying it shows up in the web browser, but not yet in the mobile apps.

I'm probably an idiot for clicking a random tinyurl link someone posted, but it didn't work for me in either the image preview or opening the link (on an Android phone)

Interesting. I found myself having difficulty retrieving the full link myself, but I guarantee it's an innocent silly link.

Lemme try again with the full link...

I can see this on the mobile browser but not in the Liftoff app

Doesn't open inline for me, but I'm also viewing this from kbin.social so there might be embedding issues
