Why converts lemmy.world *.gif to *.mp4 (self.techsupport)

Why converts lemmy.world *.gif to *.mp4 ?

Isn't *.gif more popular and easier to show direct/automatical in any browser and app?

*.mp4 doesn't show as thumbnail,
*.gif readily shows as thumbnail for posts,
Tested a few times, in post's URL field.
( *.gif has to be on external web site )
Maybe this is already in the list of improvements to be made ?

Hopefully we'll get thumbnail support.
