Is Lemmy capable of playing that format of multimedia? And if so, do clients like Jerboa support it? I've also noticed this
If it isn't, then it will be the biggest downside of fediverse. But I do remember seeing a gif while I was on my PC.
For the longest time Reddit only supported media through external sites (Imgur, copy, etc).
Memmy (iOS app in beta) supports uploading media to Imgur and then inserting the link, much like Apollo did; hoping to see that extended to other hosting sites as well
Personally I think that hosting media is not the right move for Lemmy/kbin. Creates a long term never ending cost and liability. Reddit worked fine without hosting for a decade.
