I don't know why we can't just have memes and gifs right in amethyst, doesn't seem that hard, or maybe they don't want to. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqstuu6ccnl9q9yvejhuqt4zqhvqz30z2wyf4gu43k404p3hq37ggrspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmchk5d43 could help implement gif buddy into clients.
Discussion
I hope he's working on that.
Integrating GIF buddy into clients has been tricky because every developer is different
I made a GIF Buddy API for Corny Chat by nostr:npub1yx6pjypd4r7qh2gysjhvjd9l2km6hnm4amdnjyjw3467fy05rf0qfp7kza
I built a tool for creating personalized GIF Collections that uses a custom NIP used in ChaChi by nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg
I publish every GIF that’s copied as a public event under NIP94 that other clients can freely access like noStrudel by nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr
I deployed my own relay where all the GIF related events are publically accessible under:
wss://relay.gifbuddy.lol
And I’m personally trying to code GIFs into nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955
My goal is to have GIFs (and even memes) in every client, but trying to build a single thing that satisfies each developer has been a challenge so much of my work has been split and pulled into different directions
Part of the challenge is that Nostr clients are inherently all built so differently: web vs. native, iOS vs. Android, one programming language vs. another
Slowly but surely we will get there
GIFs are inevitable

I know nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z made a work around where you can upload gifs as emoji packs
So you can go to emojito.meme and add gif/meme URLs to an emoji pack, publish the event and then it should be available in amethyst
