    I feel like (though I’m not Raven so I could be wrong) that it’s more so adding alt text to an image. It’s helpful for those who are blind/hard of seeing, or even those with shitty Internet to describe the image/gif. I don’t think there is a way to pause moving images here on lemmy/aussie.zone which is disappointing, but I feel like keep gifs to a minimum.

    I would recommend just linking it with an alt text accompanied for those who might not want to view it but still want to understand what you’re conveying.

      Yeah that’s one of my other thoughts as well, what you wrote. But yeah link to gif is better than outright gif and you can post photos now so wondering if a description with photo should also be added for the vision impaired

      yeah I guess we have this new rule because now we can make images and what not appear in the thread, whereas before it’s all links

        I think you could show images on Reddit comments too. Like specifically gifs, but I think the mods of the sub have to enable it. I don’t think Melbourne had it, but I know a few subs I frequented enabled it. But even then not a lot of people used them.

            I don’t think so? Though there was like a sort of… like, Discord has Nitro boosting, where you can boost a server and they’d get benefits (like more emojis, larger upload files, etc). I think some subs had that, a lot of the crypto ones or stock based subs had them, but I don’t think you had to pay to get the benefits of posting gifs as comments. But I could be wrong, because I never really did that, only upvoted them if they were funny/relevant.

                Ahh okay I think I remember what you’re talking about now. Yeah, I think it was based off of like users boosting stuff… that sounds really familiar. But yeah now it’s all free.
