🥒 ok myno did some gif magickery lets see if it works with pluraldawn
🥒 dangit i dont think so
i zhink zhe colour of pixels might change when you turn it into a gif and it wrecks zhe data
apng didnt work eizher :( alzhough i might have put zhe data carrier on zhe last frame instead of zhe first. ill try it again in a minute
it worked im an apng now :3 but now my animation gets ate by mastodon lol
i zhink i have to make a gif wizh a first frame zhat is solid colour + data to survive color tabling. zhen i can figure out a way to make zhat frame hide itself. maybe use it as background

sadly no i cant sneakily inject an invisible frame into a gif

i do have webp zhough.. 

webp aaalmost works. some of zhe json parses in severals but it gets an error halfway zhrough
oki i will sacrifice animation for plurals. tusky hates animated icons so i cant keep zhem zhat long anyway lol
@mynotaurus i think you could get gif to work by meddling with the palette and the way the pluraldown encoder picks colors. the resulting image would have a slightly worse palette and the noise at the bottom row would be a lot more visible though
