Just need to choose the correct client
What are you guys talking about? You just put the url of the GIF.
Gifbuddy.lol
i typically paste the url of the gif from tenor.com or something
some clients, like damus and yakihonne, will let you upload a gif from your device.
:3
you can host the gif yourself, host it somewhere or post a link to someone else's.
A gif keyboard good ser
Is there a good one for iOS?
In amethyst, add it as an image from your gallery after you download it from somewhere.
The icon on the left here...
Copy paste
it can depend on the software. matrix doesn't let you paste animating gifs. it just snaps the first frame and then converts it to jpg. even in the web app. most nostr web apps don't tinker with the files though. i used this, there is a canvas api in the web browser runtime that can take an image, decode it, then using the canvas api, it can scale it, warp it, and then encode it to jpg, gif, webp, or whatever.
In amethyst you can start typing : and then click resize on the right side
Just like this

I actually don't know. Its not on my wish list but many people ask so it's kinda a running joke at this point.
Just get one for your systemwide keyboards.
