Those are displayed in browser, right? The only reason that would be happening is if Piefeed is recompressing images and their code is not smart enough to identify an animated .gif and act accordingly.
Yeah in browser. I should probably open an issue ticket if nobody else noticed yet.
Relevant issue: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/665
tl;dr - it's an issue with the pillow image library in python. It's on our radar though. I got posts working, but you have to click through, the thumbnail still isn't animated.
Oh good looks like you're on it already nice! The only other thing I noticed missing moving from Lemmy was sorting Top by "x" amount of time, but I see there's an open issue for that as well already. Nothing for me to do lol.
Still lots of things to do :)
Lemmy has been at it for years at this point while piefed only started up a bit over a year ago I think? In any case, I have only been a contributor for maybe a couple weeks, so lots of catching up to do!
