[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children) Couldn’t APNG be considered? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Ilumar@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago I wasn't even aware of APNG or AVIF before this thread. Webm was just the first alternative for GIFs that came to mind. Looking at this APNG also seems to result in pretty large files whereas AVIF appears to have by far the best compression. AVIF looks like the best alternative for sending short meme clips to people, which I assume is most peoples use case for GIFs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 point 3 months ago (3 children) that's a static image. not at all animated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (2 children) perhaps if you open the Wiki link where the image was taken from, for me it’s animated on Voyager. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] noxypaws@pawb.social -1 points 3 months ago (1 child) my lemmy client doesn't support opening arbitrary web pages which is my entire point: your proposal is dead in the water as it doesn't work universally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) I would argue and say that it is poor implementation on your developers behalf, Lemmy itself supports it, your client is failing to properly render the image. As mentioned previously, Voyager displays the image as intended. permalink fedilink source parent
