    One example is piefed unfortunately. Animated gifs as avatar or banner don’t animate currently as far as I can tell.

      Those are displayed in browser, right? The only reason that would be happening is if Piefeed is recompressing images and their code is not smart enough to identify an animated .gif and act accordingly.

            Oh good looks like you’re on it already nice! The only other thing I noticed missing moving from Lemmy was sorting Top by “x” amount of time, but I see there’s an open issue for that as well already. Nothing for me to do lol.

              Still lots of things to do :)

              Lemmy has been at it for years at this point while piefed only started up a bit over a year ago I think? In any case, I have only been a contributor for maybe a couple weeks, so lots of catching up to do!

          I’ll bet you a shiny penny that’s what it is. The backend recompresses things to some other format, probably a low bitrate JPEG, in order to save space and/or in case some joker uploads a 90 megabyte uncompressed TIFF image to use as a profile pic, or something.
