Ever since I started out here 9 Months ago, there has been nothing more confusing then getting GIFs and Videos to display properly.
I’ve tried hosting them on lemmy.blahaj.zone, Ingur, Imgflip and some free hosting sites yet non seem consistent enough across all apps/sites.
I myself use Boost for lemmy, if it loads just good for me it loads for no one else. If it doesnt load for me it works for some others. sometimes it doesnt work for anyone or me. Sometimes it links to a side directly. Sometimes it does 3 really cool flips in the air and gives up after. sometimes using the same hosts yields 2 different Results, like the last 2 GIFs I uploaded and hosted on Imgflip. Its just so inconsistent.
At this point I don’t know. So Tl:Dr: What image hosting side work for most people in displaying videos and gifs on most apps?
Imgur work OK-ish for short gifs (<=15s). For longer gifs/looping videos I too would like an answer to this question.
