I’m asking because I saw a few posts in my home feed that I can’t verify. By the way, Lemmy can’t be compared to Reddit if it doesn’t have the ability to post videos or GIFs. Think about it: what good is a social media platform without the ability to share the most popular forms of multimedia?

    I posted a .gif in a comment the other day just using the base lemmy.world interface on desktop and it Just Worked. I don’t know about other clients/UI’s.

        OK Zoomer. (/s)

        I mostly screw off on lemmy while I’m supposed to be working, so I exclusively use the desktop interface in a browser. From what I understand, the different apps and interfaces don’t all quite support displaying the same types of content or even markdown… yet. For instance, a I had another poster tell me that spoiler tags don’t work in the Boost app.

        I think you can upload just about any damn fool thing as an inline image and the server will take it; it’s just a matter of the client being able to make heads or tails of what it is and display it appropriately.
