Ok maybe not that well without clicking. Here’s it in the body instead

    I saw one on another comment which made me inspired to try posting with one. Doesn’t seem to work well for the preview thing, but does show in the body of posts and comments

      I can see the GIF from my feed on web UI with basic play/pause buttons without a problem.

        Without clicking on the post? From the /c/memes view? I also put it into the body because the preview when on /c/memes doesn’t expand when you click on it like images at least for me

          Yes. When I move the mouse over it, I can play the GIF, enable sounds and make it fullscreen from the feed or /c/memes, for example. But, as you said, it does not expand below the post (still in the feed).

            Ah ok yeah I can do the same. It’s just a little bit of a strange view

              It is definitely not optimized for GIFs, like you said. But at least you can fullscreen if you want to without having to click on the post.

                  As I said, not many use GIFs here, it seems.

                Of course, you can always expand the content of any post with the book icon at the right of every post. This will show the GIF in a picture-like mode, too.

                  I think that option is only there if you add a body to a post because I don’t see it for only image posts. I edited a body in this post and put the gif in that body

                    Yes. I should have clarified. If a post does not have a body, there is nothing to expand, so the option is not visible. It will thus not help if you do not put the GIF in the post body.
