Bug: GIFs don't load / animate
Heaust
All the GIFs are static images.
Worse thing is, they look fine in preview.
for example the gif below looks fine in preview here, but prolly won't be animated when I post this.
The GIF in the CDN is fine, but the GIF that gets served on published posts has this form
<link>?auto=format,compress&gif-q=60&format=webm
The "format" parameter seems to be messing this up,
as https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1638674844272/yVy1pDBbl.gif?auto=compress&gif-q=60 is animated.
Aspects of my articles kind of heavily rely on GIFs to convey information.
So it's a bummer they don't work anymore.
You can take a look at https://heaust.hashnode.dev/threejs-chapter-3
None of the GIFs in the article are animated :(

Hi,
If there is AI writing enabled and the basic minimal thing such as GIF does not load - it needs to be addressed at priority. Hashnode is big community and so many people rely on hashnode for writing, and gif not getting loaded is a big concern. May I know what is the plan for mitigate this?

Hi,It seems this issue still exists after a year and is quite a problem for blogs with animations on them. Are there any updates to this issue?For anyone else reading, a workaround is to host the GIF elsewhere and embed an image via a link rather than uploading from your device. This seems to fix the animations on Firefox.Thank you
