Didn't work. Put something in the brackets.
(Crud, now it doesn't appear as a link.)
What client are you using?
For me, it shows up as an embedded video (with video player controls) when using the default web UI and shows up as a looping image (without video player controls) when using Voyager. Both the version in my comment and the one in yours display the same, in both cases.
(Side note: I usually like to paste the image data into the comment rather than a URL to it so that a copy gets uploaded to the Lemmy server and doesn't depend on third-party image hosts, but whenever I try that with an animated gif it becomes a still image. 🙁 )
Firefox on a Windows PC.
And the default Lemmy UI (as opposed to Alexandrite or the one that mimics Old Reddit)?
If that's the case, then I guess it's a Windows problem 'cause I'm on Firefox on Linux. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm on "old". The syntax used to work, or maybe it's a comm thing? Couldn't get it to fly today with or without anything in the brackets.
