How did you get that to auto play?

I just tried adding a gif, and it only seems to show as a link.

Oh wait, figured it out - it wasn't a gif it was an MP4

It is a gif, at least on desktop for me. Yours only shows as a link.

Yeah, sorry - OP's was a gif, mine wasn't (which I assume is why OP's showed automatically and mine didn't)

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2268cec6-6ce6-46c2-85ca-57960c09b3d0.mp4) converts to:

Thanks, but that still doesn't show (or not for me anyway), it's still just a link. Not to worry, it's hardly a deal-breaker where Sync is concerned :-)
