It was only ever an issue for me back when it was new and next to nothing supported it yet.
That isn't the case anymore, except maybe here on Lemmy where by default, animated images don't properly upload. Doesn't even matter the format; webp, gif, mp4, etc. They don't work out of the box here; they embed fine if hosted elsewhere, tho.
WebM works with image-rs (as long as you don't exceed your home instance's upload size limits).
I can't guarantee that every client can view it properly
that's on the client's author
but it'll show up in the Lemmy Web UI.
Try downloading that and then uploading it in a comment to to your own instance; it should work unless pawb.social limits the size.
