Heads up that there is a self-hosted gif platform I've been tinkering on, original repo is here but it was more or less abandonded. I've been adding to it slowly here: Gifable.
The base repo was good, a selfhosted Gif hosting, but I needed more integrations so I've been managing my own fork for about a year. The largest one is a way that Matrix servers can integrate, so it now actually stands up a matrix server and can federate your gifs with other matrix users. The second item is adding Giphy support (I had Tenor as well... but guess I'll remove that), so you can alternatively search Giphy.
I won't say it's polished, but if Tenor is leaving a sour note in your mouth, having someone else hosting would probably be neat.

Pfft, "not polished". Looks way more polished than manually dumping shit into a folder on my http server. Thanks!
Github sucks though, unreliable and headed to bad places. Considered mirroring or rehosting it somewhere with forgejo? Self-hostable, or there are some public options
Thanks! Design was mostly the original creators though.
It is mirrored on my private Forgejo instance, github was the original choice if the first eng, I will think about migrating
This looks interesting. I want to host my own discord alternative but gifs were what I missed most.
Happy cake day! Yes San boat. Element was the closest thing I found to discord, but gifs were annoying. Getting this added to apps is the hardest thing, but it's mostly that how to I say "add this integration please" when it's only my one server
You should try Sable! It's way closer to discord than element is.
It looks great, I will!
