Please stop making gifs at all. It's a terrible format that creates massive files that look like shit.

Webm is supported almost everywhere now and manages better quality at higher framerates and smaller file sizes.

that's a static image. not at all animated.

perhaps if you open the Wiki link where the image was taken from, for me it’s animated on Voyager.

my lemmy client doesn't support opening arbitrary web pages

which is my entire point: your proposal is dead in the water as it doesn't work universally.

I would argue and say that it is poor implementation on your developers behalf, Lemmy itself supports it, your client is failing to properly render the image.

As mentioned previously, Voyager displays the image as intended.
