Whenever I make a post with a link to a gif as the URL, the post on clients like Sync, Liftoff, and Photon all actually show the .gif file in the post so it will play correctly. Whenever I view the post on lemmy-ui (the basic UI) though, sometimes it has some .webm file that was created on the original instance, and to actually get the gif to play you have to click on that or click on the link to the original website. How do I get the behavior on other clients to be the same for lemmy-ui, so the gifs will actually play? it

Example:

Photon Working

Lemmy UI Not Working

Lemmy UI Working

Edit: I don't think it's size, since this gif is smaller in size than this one

Also, here are my .env variables:

PICTRS__MEDIA__VIDEO_CODEC=vp9

PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_WIDTH=512

PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_HEIGHT=512

PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_AREA=262144

PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_FRAME_COUNT=500

I increased the values from default to see if that would fix it but no luck

    Weird. Did you try through catbox.moe? That’s what I use to post images. I don’t have experience with animated stuff though, sorry.
