[Bug] Gifs don’t upload on the instance

I tried to upload a gif but I get this error message when doing so:

{"data":{"msg":"Failed external validation","files":null},"state":"success"}

I can upload any other type of image but gifs always fail for some reason.
Does anyone have any clue what could be going wrong? There’s obviously something wrong with pictrs but I’m not sure what.

    @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’m already in talks with the pict-rs dev to provide me a necessary feature. If they do it, I will hack the lemmy source myself to achieve it.
