I don't understand, why are the next to nothing in terms of gif-based communities in the fediverse? I've checked lemmy.world and piefed and it only really seems to be NSFW gifs, everything else is mostly dead.

Is there a particular reason there's barely any gifs or am I just looking in the wrong spots?

    Oh is that the comments I see that have large blank areas? I don't think I can see the gifs on connect then, weird but good to know!

    There are a few, but not very active ones.

    Lemmy world seems to have the most active one:

    !gifs@lemmy.world

    Edit: removed the obviously dead community

    Because there are like 5 active posters between every instance.

    You only get pugs Jesus and butterfly posting their content, and news here.

  • That's actually interesting that there isn't much of a gifs community around here. I've never particularly noticed before either. Even that lemmy.world community looks kinda dead on my end. And it's not like it's a niche subject or anything.
