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.
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.

Ah
Yeah looks like there was an issue opened for that a while ago but hasn’t seen much activity lately https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/232
As I said, not many use GIFs here, it seems.
