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

    Oh yup it works for me exactly like u said! but yeh I cant do that on my banner :< So yeah I guess the problem is that for some reason gifs r converted to webm in a way that breaks them

    it wouldn’t be right for me to pretend to be something else

    hehe no problem X3 I think its fine as a supportive meme :3

      Looks like one of the admins is going to look into it for you, so if they’re able to make the banner animated, then that will be great! If it’s a Jerboa thing, then I could post a request, but it looks like people with other apps are having problems as well, so seems more like a Lemmy or instance level thing. I’ll be looking forward to seeing if they can get it working, and then maybe I’ll switch my banner to an animated gif as well.

      You know what? You’re right! I’ll leave it up. I’ve never been too terribly attached to my gender in the first place :P
