Do gif posts play when viewed from the main feed?

I might be able to answer my own question here.

Edit: Looks like it doesn't play unless I tap on it to open. Did I do something wrong or is that just a feature of Lemmy?

Depends on what client you use. They play for me in Summit.

Yeah, I can see now that you're right. I'll have to shop around for apps.

As someone who used to be a die-hard Sync fan, Summit is SO GOOD!!!

It autoplays for me in multiple browser UIs (lemmy-ui, Photon, Tesseract, Alexandrite) as well as in the Summit, Voyager, and Thunder mobile apps. Though the frame rate is ridiculously fast in Thunder for some reason.

Thank you so much!

It must just be my app, then.

Thanks! I guess I just picked the worst possible app.

Works on Sync

That's what I'm using, too. I went through the settings, but I didn't see anything obvious.

Edit: Also I have 'data saving' off and the following settings:

Depends I think on how you submit the link.

Good to know. Thanks!

Works on Boost with "animations play by default" on.

Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 229d

Thanks, I'll have to check and see if my app has those settings too.

Only in the thumbnail for Alexandrite. it shows as a link when you click the post and opens in a new tab/window. It would work if the image were submitted with ![](https://path/) like below.
