* Gifs in comments don't play #1306

Closed turnipjs closed 1 month ago

Describe the bug Gifs that are embedded in comments (markdown(?)) do not play in normal view or after tapping on the image to enlarge it.

Expected Behavior A way to view the gif animation.

I would personally like for gifs to not autoplay and: only play after tapping on them, or, only play in the full screen preview window In both of these cases there should be an icon with a drop shadow or background (for visibility) indicating that the still image preview is for a gif.

Actual Behavior No way to see gif animation in app. One must copy link and view in browser. Additionally there is no indication that an image is a gif.

To Reproduce As seen in this comment. App version 1.3.3 (994) downloaded from Apple App Store.

Mlem Information: App version 1.3.3 (994) downloaded from Apple App Store.

I believe it has always been this way for me (gifs don't play). I just today realized that people are posting gifs in comments when that still image preview didn't make any sense in context.

Additional Context Any other relevant information App was updated to current version from 1.0.3(?) obtained via TestFlight.

This is planned for 2.0--it's in development, should be in the 2.0 beta soon(ish)
