I tried uploading a gif for this post and it uploaded it as an mp4 file instead and doesn’t seem to display it either.

    They are, but unfortunately, they’re convenient as they’re treated equivalently to images. So anywhere you can see an image, you can see an animated gif. Its kinda frustrating they haven’t come up with an equivalent format that uses an actual video encoding instead of literally just raw frames lol.

      Yeah, I was thinking earlier that I understood why you wanted images. Hopefully the interface will improve to something more like RES (or exactly like it) and embeddings Just Work.
