For example, on my profile picture. Find them on Coolbuddy or some other site and save as a webp.
You can also just download any GIF and convert it into WebP using an online converter like this. Then you can set that converted WebP as your profile picture.
Hah! Neat. Thanks for the tip!
Nice Tip , where can I find these endless looping gifs?
It's not from a specific place. It was an old GIF I knew and I searched for it. You could search "[something] perfect loop gif" or similar in a search engine.
Thanks for the tip!
Hell yea Brother!!
I'll be honest, it's a tie between which is the most annoying "feature" of this platform; animated profile icons, or unicode user display names.

I'm pretty sure I saw the speculater guy multiple times before
I'm pretty sure they're talking about people spamming emojis and bright colors in their usernames.
Ha... I use Voyager and had -no clue- that Lemmy supported either one of these features (previously wef wef). Maybe turn it off in your client, or use Voyager?
There are people here not immediately turning profile pictures off?
So cooool
