EDIT: seems to be mainly an instance issue instead of an app issue. Viewing the linked comment on another instance will play the gif properly

I've only noticed this in comments so far. Certain WEBP videos show me a play button, but will never play when I tap on them. I'm assuming this is probably an app issue, but could maybe still be an instance issue.

Here is one comment that has this issue: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/21301284

I'm on the latest version of summit on an S23 Ultra.

I can't upload regular .gifs, either. It just shows the first frame as a static image. Have to upload them to something that actually supports them properly and then embed that link for the animations to work.

It could be supported, but the instance operators would need to add it to their setup. IIRC, Tesseract (the instance) has done that. At least I think that was one; this is a really old issue and I haven't seen it discussed in over a year (back when I was still on Yiffit).
