In that case you would have to host them somewhere else. Edit: It also works with mp4 and webp.

minus-squareMochiGoesMeow@lemmy.zipOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·14 days agoOh I get it now, you have to have the gif locally stored on your phone to upload it as an image with the image function. If you want to embed a gif hosted by giphy its not as pretty.
minus-squareDearMoogle@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-214 days agoGiphy works. You just gotta do it exactly like:  On Voyager, I type the gif comment then tap the ••• button, “preview” to make sure it looks good before posting.
