There’s something ironic about this complaint of a free thing someone posted to a free website where everyone is arguing the merits of tipping for services.
So you can shit on me, as if it was my fault somehow and not that OP couldn’t post a picture as a picture format? Yeah no. I saw what happened in the other comments on this post that said something similar to me. Downvote city.
No, I’m genuinely curious about the different clients we, the Lemmy community, have available. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses helps people make informed choices.
OP couldn’t post a picture as a picture format?
GIF is a picture format. It may contain multiple frames or it may not but it is a perfectly standard pallet based image format that has been around for 37 years (for comparison its older than zip or PDF). This is not the same as linking to a 1 second YouTube video.
My current client (Boost) is also treating it as unzoomable, but that is clearly a defect in my client. Even if it was an animation I would want to be able to zoom. Its something to raise with the developer.
In the meantime I just opened the link in my browser:
I’m on Voyager here and the gif displays as you’d expect and I can zoom on it as well. I think I was in Boost for a bit but I eventually settled on Voyager for it’s familiarity and features.
Can’t zoom in bc your stupid meme is a 0 second gif. Downvoted for not being able to read such small text.
I… uh… just uploaded it using Voyager. It wasn’t a gif on my phone, I don’t know how or why it got converted.
My apologies, but if this is the worst thing that happened to you today….

Here ya go:
Which Lemmy client?
Boost won’t let me zoom in. I don’t know about others.

I tested some clients and like Voyager best too. Even though I’m on Android and its iOS-inspired design is a bit alien here.
Yeah, I’m not so sure it’s your Lemmy client that’s causing your downvotes.
