I recently created this post and put a .gif link in the URL field https://lemmy.world/post/12028828. I noticed that lemmy now uploads an image to it’s server and puts that as the post image.

The problem is that the image it uploads is a static .webm file, it’s not animated like the gif. How can I post an animated gif? Is not possible anymore??

    but a direct upload makes the gif lose it’s animation, that’s the point of my post

      Yeah that is an issue with lemmy. Choose any other serious image hoster and it should work.
