I’m not sure any lemmy instance hosts gifs. Most upload and then convert to gifv but even that is shit since it doesnt inline the gif but instead puts it in a player. Best is just to hotlink the gif from a hosting site like imgur.

We don't support uploading gifs due to space requirements
I eagerly expect your donation then 😁
Grrrl, you know I’ve already signed up for a recurring donation every month from now until the end of time. I’m along for the ride until the wheels fall off!
Hah, thanks! Hmm, it's actually a potential idea, to add a whitelist for people who can upload gifs if they're supporters. I'll have to see how I could do that
@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that's hard because of the Lemmy Devs' weird insistence on using rust.
I promise, I would use that power very irresponsibly. You can count on me!
Can confirm. Linking gifs, however, works just fine.
