How do I get it to show the gif in the body? Sorry, I’m new at this, but I thought it was pretty funny.
If you set it as the post link it should embed automatically without needing to put anything in the post body
If that doesn’t work, you could also put it in the body like you’re trying by using this format:
It’s also the same way to embed in commentsThis one might be tough to make work since it’s a webm file rather than a real gif file. Lemmy and the various apps don’t do a great job handling video file formats.
I uploaded a gif but it got converted to webm. Are gifs allowed? Or maybe it’s the instance I’m on?
That’s weird behavior. Gifs should be okay as far as I know.
Thanks. It also reformatted (or at least renamed) the gif to webm. Is gif not an allowed format or something?
