I might be able to answer my own question here.
Edit: Looks like it doesn't play unless I tap on it to open. Did I do something wrong or is that just a feature of Lemmy?

Works on Boost with "animations play by default" on.
Thanks, I'll have to check and see if my app has those settings too.
Only in the thumbnail for Alexandrite. it shows as a link when you click the post and opens in a new tab/window. It would work if the image were submitted with  like below.
