    Nagoonimation’s always animating the good stuff. 👌👌

    By the way, are you doing anything special when you post your animated WEBP files? I’m uploading mine to Catbox and then using that as the link for the post, but Lemmy keeps generating a broken embed and showing that instead of using the image I link to on Catbox and I have no idea wtf is happening. Expanding yours just embeds the Catbox image, which is what I want…

      Hmmm. All I do is convert to WebP from WebM or whatever video file I have using a free online converter (Think mine is EZgif?) I upload the WebP and the video file to catbox. For the post I use a direct link to the WebP and then put the full source video file from catbox plus an artist source in the post. Currently looking at your account though I can see thumbnails for everything. Do you have a link to a broken post?

          Ah, that artifacting is just part of the conversion process. Happens to all WebP but some worse than others based on settings. My preview has some as well, just less obvious. The converter I use has some limitations to length and frame rate that might make it better assuming they’re soft limitations that ffmpeg can ignore. That’s why I include sources and HQ in the posts. WebP is just inferior.

            WebP definitely introduces some jank, but I think Lemmy is adding more on top of what’s already there. If I open up the Catbox upload and the Lemmy preview side-by-side, I can see some weird stuff exclusive to the preview that Lemmy generates.

            Thanks for replying though. I think I’ve already spent enough time thinking about how to upload lewds lol so I’ll just stick to stills for now and maybe try again later or if we ever get better animation/video support on Lemmy

              Nvm I tried it one more time ( https://lemmynsfw.com/post/2547941 ) and it doesn’t generate the fucky preview and directly embeds the WebP from Catbox instead.

              My guess is that it only fucks up if I click on the “Browse” to upload button out of habit even if I cancel out to paste a link instead. Thanks for the sanity check.
