I’ve noticed that on Lemmy there aren’t really any videos/gifs as I scroll. I just see post titles, links, or images.

Is there a reason videos and gifs aren’t showing up on my feed?

    When people say “gifs” nowadays they don’t mean actual .gif files, .gif files are very outdated and barely used at this point.

    Gif has just become the term for short videos without sound

      I think actual .GIF files are still used but oftentimes they’re just converted to .WEBM’s without sound.
