The uploaded image is just a test, its supposed to be my profile banner but with animated fire but when I try to upload it as my banner I get a timeout error (jerboa only shows a bit of that error and doesnt let me copy its text) and its always a broken image in previews

Also, the file is .gif but after uploading the link says .webm? Is that normal?

I’ve seen other people with animated banners and pfps but they were on other instances so I guess it might be an issue on this instance

    I’m seeing it as a video which kind of sucks because I don’t get a thumbnail/have to tap on it to “play” it.

    Webm makes sense because it’s a ton more efficient than gif but the UX is bizarre in this case. I’m browsing from the Infinity app.

      this is how it looks for me on desktop (Edge & Firefox) too

      in some browsers u can right click > loop to automatically loop it how a gif is expected to work, but you still have to manually play it
