Thank you. Much appreciated. I don't have iOS, so I'm very reliant on this kind of info.
I'll make one big [META] post at some point, listing the relative pro/cons of file formats and upload sites, as well as how well they're supported in the various apps.
Wait, there's another app?!? I just tried looking at this community with Eternity, and it seems to have generally poor support for anything animated.
Sorry, me again. I've re-hosted the file at catbox.moe instead, so hopefully it'll stay there.
No. I've not done anything. Maybe it was copyright-struck at imgbb. If I use them again, I'll create an account first, so at least I'll maybe be able to find out what happened.
Yeah, that was my experience on Jerboa too. Even on 'Cards View', it doesn't get bigger than thumbnail size.
I'm typing this using Sync and get the same. I wonder what Sync is doing that other clients aren't. I'll have a look at their GitHub and see if it's already been reported as a bug.
Aha. I've just found the 'auto-play gifs' setting in Jerboa, which means it plays in the post now!
Thanks. I've only found Tesseract via db0, but I'll be able to use that for future tests
Thanks. I hadn't heard of Thunder. But I've downloaded it now, and will use it for future testing.
Thanks for the info. (Buy, yeah, the distinction between these things can feel a bit arbitrary for mobile apps)
Thank you for the info. I've been wading through pict-rs trying to figure out what it does, but the only thing I really learnt was that it's very configurable. I'm trying .webp next, but yeah, the last time I saw a .webm uploaded, it wasn't playing at all.
Awesome. If you're up for it, can you let me know how the previous posts perform on some iOS apps?
