Animated images (may be specific to i.imgur.com) are not displaying properly when clicking the post thumbnail, but work when clicking the post title (lemmy.ca)

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

Thanks for investigating. I’ll keep my eye out but I have t seen it. Can you replicate on another device?
