Posting Gifs that animate properly.

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 <a href=""></a>

Seems like it’s working pretty well overall. Jerboa is the outlier, but you CAN see the animation if you click into it.

Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough! I’m on Connect, and Firefox for Android & Pc, all work just fine. I’m sure overall support will be better once Lemmy is more fleshed out, but it seems different instances even handle gifs in their own way.

PriorProject,

Connect for Lemmy by Kurononeko? Is that open source, or only available in the android store?

Blaze,

Thank your for this!
