Animated avatar support #42

Open EndenDragon opened 6 days ago

EndenDragon commented 6 days ago

If the user has an animated avatar, could it please display it instead of the static variant?

taichikuji commented 6 days ago

Can you please give me an example? A profile ID or something that I can use to test this.

I could theoretically add a check for gif, however there are major issues that it would entail;

First, that would mean the website would unnecessarily load slower due to an added check to see if the gif exists and if that is the case, prioritize it over the WEBP, and the fact that GIFs take a long time to load compared to WEBP.

Second, WEBP already has support for animated WEBP [1] and from what I can see here [2], this has already been working previously and is broken either on purpose or unknowingly and still not fixed.

So, I am not sure if it would be worth the extra effort and toil on the load of the website taking into account that this should have worked without me having to do anything due to the aforementioned.
