Test 2: <div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="11156785" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.77515" data-width="100%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785">This Is Just Sad Angry GIF</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/this+is+just+sad-gifs">This Is Just Sad GIFs</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"></script>
Test 3: I tried to add it as a picture as a file from the computer but editing this comment doesn't add it.
@Darkassassin07 Hmm. Difficult to tell the difference cos all I see are links with an image icon 😂
Though clicking on them shows me the difference visually, in a new tab.
I'll stick to the Add media -button in my case...and in my client.
Those are literally just raw text urls. No formatting at all. Your client is deciding to try and load/embed any and every link it comes across.
Mainly you’re looking for links that end in an image file extension (.gif/.jpg/.jpeg/.png/etc) if you’re going to embed them as images in a comment/post. I doubt you’ll be able to with that client though… I don’t use lemmy/kbin on desktop so I’ve got no advice there.
Ugh I hope this doesn’t become normal for Lemmy, or at least they give us a way to block gifs and whatnot in comments. I hated that when Reddit forced it and instantly blocked ever seeing them.
I see no difference tbh, but you do you. I wish the feature was/is there for people to use, but I enjoy not seeing gifs and having them auto load and hope for counter options.
@Fiivemacs Yeah well, I suppose some folks rather not see emojis neither.
Though they take less space in your eyes than GIFs, they may not always deliver the same feeling what the sender intends 🙂
Adding the GIF as a picture from the Image BROWSE got the GIF rolling.
That was my third attempt.
Didn't get it working for my first comment here though.
