Will there be redgifs support?
Only because of giphy being shut down soon. No other reason. Just need a new place to show GIFs. Pretty important. Just normal GIFs. Some communities currently just show a link which directs to your browser and it’s not a smooth experience. I just want that one of Homer backing into a hedge or Matt Damon turning old at the end of saving private Ryan. Just normal fun GIFs. Totally innocent normal GIFs. On redgifs.
just got played in the slop on the 26th of jan 2023, who are you people
Redgif are mostly mp4 video ( at least that’s what a friend of mine told me 😏) so you have to check how to post video. You can actually show gif on lemmy, all you have to do is tipe ! And then add a link of the exact gif file.
OK. but hear me out.
A creator wants to share their gif on reddit 1 month ago -
They click a subreddit, links to a redgifs gif. Gives it a title. Done. It turns up in everyone’s feed animated and easy to find.
Now, people are dropping off, so they turn to lemmy, where the reddit userbase started moving. and now they’re told to go to Pixelfed or tell people to install an extra app to view gifs as a popout, but not animated in the stream.
You see what I mean? friction!
People want to sign in, upload, done. They don’t want to fumble around with servers and different instances and extra apps to add to the one they already downloaded

Nato Boram.gif in their URL so that’s easy, but what about redgifs? Am I supposed to hard-code something specifically for them? That doesn’t sound right.
Interesting. I’ll do that now.
I’m aware that this maybe one too many hurdles for some to jump through after already switching to Lemmy. I feel like it’s important to reduce friction for things like this, for both the user and the creators, who may both not be as tech savvy as you or I.
You should try it, you’ll see it’s not that bad. It has an overlay that pops up when you open a link with it, so it’s actually a pleasant experience.
What do mean? It’s used pretty extensively.
What people call GIFs these days are almost always not actually GIFs. GIFs will usually have high dithering due to it using an 8-bit color palette and an odd frame rate because the per-frame delay is specified in jiffies so you can’t really get normal framerates (especially high ones).
What dethroned GIFs was the <video> HTML element. The video format doesn’t matter.
I would not mind porn here, including redgifs
So long ad posts are explicitly marked with a pink nudity tag
Gore etc should be nsfl in a different color
And just offensive stuff like… i dont know. A rainbow, could be regular nsfw
