@jamesbarley of the image? good question, not sure!
Show threadAlejandra M. PickettNov 7, 2022
@jamesbarley i had the same question. there isn't one as far as i can tell... you also can't just link to any #gifs you find... they appear as links. to actually embed an animated #gif or #image you have to download it and upload it...

@jamesbarley @AlejandraPickett Yes, I have! Read this blog entry with links: https://tinyurl.com/mguhlintips The secret? You need MetaText/Toot (iOS) or Tusky/FediLab (Android) and Gboard GIF Keyboard. The Mastodon app doesn’t let you paste AnimatedGIFS .

@AlejandraPickett eso se hace mas dificil porque Mastodon en la red no permite GIFS animados. Pero, usas Windows o Mac?
Show threadMiguel Guhlin 🦉 🇵🇦 🇺🇲Nov 8, 2022
@AlejandraPickett si tu respuesta es si, entonces podrías tratar de isar Whalebird o Sengi para tu computadora. No se exactamente si suportan GIFS animados, pero estoy curioso y lo intentare cuando sepa que tipo de computadora tengas. 😀 aqui estan los enlaces: https://github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-desktop y https://github.com/NicolasConstant/sengi/releases

@mguhlin Mil gracias! investigare los enlaces, pero no estoy acostumbrada con github. o como funciona

@AlejandraPickett Sengi si funciona para meter gifs animados. Solo tienes que instalar Sengi en to computadora (Mac), y entonces cuando quieres meter un GIF animado, encuentralo, guardalo en tu disco duro, y entonces usas el clip de papel para adjuntarlo como yo hice aqui - https://hcommons.social/@mguhlin/109308459937952476

@AlejandraPickett puedes encontrar GIFs animados aqui - https://tenor.com/ - y entonces puedes guardarlos en tu computadora antes de ponerlos aqui. 🙂 Intentalo y dime come te va. Podria hacerte un video si lo necesitas.

@mguhlin es que no quiero "encontrar, guardar, y subir" los #gifs animados... me parese oneroso... un gasto de tiempo que impede como quiero usar esta plataforma... me parece que la plataforma lo debe facilitar... hay que aver una manera de hacerlo sin tomar espacio en el server o en mi computadora... #justsayin it should support embed rather than attach....

@AlejandraPickett I don't disagree with you, but until the #Mastodon gods decide to make the change, make like water and find a way. :-) #ntt

@mguhlin so i understand this if files need to be stored... that approach does not scale, is not sustainable... but what about supporting #EmbedCode?? Doesn't that solve the problem?

@mguhlin porque no permiten los #gifs animados?
Show threadMiguel Guhlin 🦉 🇵🇦 🇺🇲Nov 8, 2022
@AlejandraPickett exacto, no lo permiten en sus apps. puedo adivinar porque (text no usa tanto espacio en el server) pero no se. de todas maneras, por esa razon tienes que usar otro programa (como Sengi) para poner imagenes y GIFs animados.
