I've been trying and it is genuinely difficult. ETA: This isn't a dig at anyone. Love you all.

I have had such poor luck trying to post gifs on lemmy (aside from comments), but if anyone can nail down how to ensure it works every time, I'll learn!
Replying again to let you know that I may have solved it. catbox.moe seems to be the way
Oh good! I had tried catbox.moe maybe a couple of months ago, and people were telling me that it was lagging for them. Maybe my gif was too big.
I don't think anyone would have a problem with external hosting sites (catbox.moe, imgur, etc.). I do agree, though, posting a gif is problematic to do natively on Lemmy.
