r/whenthe but Lemmy.
GIF macros.
You like text on GIF memes? Cool, we do also.
No idea what the fuck we mean? Look at the other posts and you'll get the gist.
Join in and have fun lads.
P.S. It might be easiest to upload your GIFs to Imgur/Giphy and put a direct link as your post (thus embedding) as Lemmy often doesn't play nicely with them natively.

The lack of gifs and short videos is a BIG downside IMO.
Gifs links to imgr seem to work just fine. If you check my posts you can see one. Posted through Memmy and it automatically uploaded the gif i made to imgr and worked flawlessly.
Wow, I had no idea. I had no idea OP's post was a gif!
Jerboa has no indication that it's a moving picture, until you explicitly open it. Weird!
Hopefully that’s on Jerboa’s list of feature improvements. But yea, I’m pretty sure on the web and other apps the gifs play just fine. They also play in the timeline without needing to open it.
Yeah, proper video/gif support is a top issue for me, personally. I’ve tried Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff!, and Thunder and so far, only Thunder even plays webm’s for me properly
I have liftoff, and gifs seem to play fine?
I just updated and everything is fine now 🤷♀️
Agreed. Most of my Reddit posts were short mp4 clips. Would be awesome if this was also possible on Lemmy.
