The problem isn't the linking part, it's the upload part (to even get a linkfile.gif part). When I was trying to upload via Lemmy for the post, it gave the the "Format Unsupported Error". I've been digging into the pict-rs code (the service that Lemmy uses for storing images), which is open-source, to understand why, since it clearly supports WEBP images and video.

Interestingly, I've tried uploading the webp file to Imgur, and it's also complaining about invalid file type. So it must be something with the file? Even though it opens find in my image viewer and also the browser.

I've tested imgur links too and they don't work. All gifty links have worked so far. Remember to not leave any space in the command.

TENOR works too.
