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.
I’ll bet you a shiny penny that’s what it is. The backend recompresses things to some other format, probably a low bitrate JPEG, in order to save space and/or in case some joker uploads a 90 megabyte uncompressed TIFF image to use as a profile pic, or something.
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.

Yeah in browser. I should probably open an issue ticket if nobody else noticed yet.
