I guess the title basically says it all. Anyone know how to post gifs, like you would post an image? Can you do that?
More info: I tried just uploading it the way I would upload an image and it somehow didn’t work. I’m not sure why. I’m doing it from my laptop, so it’s not a mobile issue.
Thanks!
Host it elsewhere, ideally as an mp4
Oh hm. Okay cool. I’ll have to figure out how to do that. Where for example would you host it?
im using free IPFS hosts for anything that does not paste right in. Its a federated file storage system.
Any more you can share about how to do that?

ignore the stupid name, it will take any file
I saw a post not more than 10 minutes ago that had an embedded .gif posted and hosted on the lemmy.world image host. I tried doing the same thing earlier today and the image didn’t actually load. Is that other user just a wizard?
The post in question
thats hosted off-site from imgur, they usually convert to mp4 automatically.
