    Hey I’m sorta new to lemmy. How are you posting gifs/images? It won’t let me do any such thing.

      In iOS on my instance sh.itjust.works in the Voyager app, I can hold my finger down on a gif, then I can either copy it and paste it into my comment, or I can add it to the photos app which then makes it available down the road anytime I want because they are all organized into the ‘animated’ category in photos. On MacOS in safari I actually have to right click the gif and save the file to the folder. At this point wherever I am if I am in voyager I then click the ‘picture’ button in the voyager comment toolbar and either browse for my animated photo or browse my folders for the GIF file.

      I’m not the savviest, but I think it’s kinda like turning a description into a url —> [description into a url](https://example.com/)

      I think you just need an exclamation(!) in front of the brackets[] and no description needed between brackets

      ![](https://gif.something/)

      Now if someone could explain to me what the exclamation(!) does, or why it’s needed, I would appreciate it
