Are GIF uploads supported?

I tried uploading a gif for this post and it uploaded it as an mp4 file instead and doesn't seem to display it either.

  • My problem so far hasn't been posting gifs, but instead seeing them. Maybe my settings are off but all the post icons are VERY small before i clock on them, and gifs require me to click the dots and go fullscreen or they just play in the tiny preview window.

    • We will overcome these issues in time hopefully. Lemmy is not mature yet.

  • I saw an article about this on the lemmy.ml instance. The article said that GIFs are not mobile compatible and Lemmy converts them because of this. If I see it, I'll comment it here.

    I checked the post it's working for me. I'm using web ui. Could the problem be with your client?

    Edit: see this comment
