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!

    Ok, I figured this out after a week, use the app Memmy’, they upload your images to imagur including GIFs, any way in the app create a new post, doesn’t matter where, then insert your gif, it will automatically upload it to imagur.

    Once you have the link in the URL section (your uploaded image) copy it and create the post you want, where you want in the Lemmy website, you now have a GIF.

    Complicated but it works, example over on c/weirdwheels.

      Wait, why not just post it to Imgur myself? Would that work just as well?

        You could, but as I don’t have an account I can’t verify it works, could work fine.
