I’m going to do a couple tests on Damus to try to figure out why gifs are displaying as still images again

Toggle the Animations button on and off

No, it’s not that

Clear cache

No, that’s not it either

If I copy a gif url from the internet displays as a still image

If I download it to my phone and then upload it through Damus interface it displays correctly

Alright!!

Hmm that worked for me

That worked for me!

Clearing cache works too.

Clearing cache worked but I still want to understand why pasting the url from the browser and uploading through Damus was yielding two different behaviors….

Maybe #[5] will have some insight. 🙏

Is that the problem? I though I was posting gifs that were too large or something.

Thought it was just me. All other devices animated gif loops, Damus / iOS nope… banner animated gif loops fine, profile gif ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Clear cache and toggle off and on Animations (in settings)

Tried this on both devices already… nope =/

#[2]​ & #[3]​ profile pics are animated above, mine and yours aren’t… as a dev, it’s these questions that keep me awake at night

Wait, is yours suppose to be animated?

If it is, it doesn’t display. Try compressing the pfp size to a 1MB max 💜🫂

I can try this when at my desk tomorrow, worth a shot, cheers buddy 💜🤙⚡️

Well, what d'ya know!? I optimised the life out the animated gif 6.12 MB >> 0.99 MB

Animation loops perfectly on iOS // Damus... thanks for the suggestion nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 💜🤙⚡️

Looks absolutely perfect 💜

I played around with everything on the first day so much, just so I could get my profile design as perfect as it could be and move from there 🫂

Helped others set up theirs, and so that’s how I figured out the optimal sizes and such 💜

Thanks for the suggestion, would never have thought to optimise the gif. Weird how it only effected Damus / iOS. Appreciate the help =)

Look good! Run!

Wish I could buddy... recovering from a foot injury. Can't wait to get back out there =)

Aw man that sucks. Hope you recover quickly! 🏃‍♂️

It is, just not on Damus / iOS

Makes sense

I end up having to toggle off and on animations in the settings a few times a day.
