Didn't work. Put something in the brackets.

What client are you using?

For me, it shows up as an embedded video (with video player controls) when using the default web UI and shows up as a looping image (without video player controls) when using Voyager. Both the version in my comment and the one in yours display the same, in both cases.

(Side note: I usually like to paste the image data into the comment rather than a URL to it so that a copy gets uploaded to the Lemmy server and doesn't depend on third-party image hosts, but whenever I try that with an animated gif it becomes a still image. 🙁 )

And the default Lemmy UI (as opposed to Alexandrite or the one that mimics Old Reddit)?

If that's the case, then I guess it's a Windows problem 'cause I'm on Firefox on Linux. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm on "old". The syntax used to work, or maybe it's a comm thing? Couldn't get it to fly today with or without anything in the brackets.
