FWIW, I used Voyager to paste an animated gif to Piefed. It accepted it, but it's not showing. I use that function all the time with Lemmy.

Here's a static image loaded from the photo gallery instead.

Attempt 1: It was a screenshot of a cartoon strip I had saved from Lemmy. Got an error posting, saying: "Problem uploading image: cannot identify image file app/static/tmp/jh0gouudldmvNK9.webp'. Please try again."

Attempt 2: Image from photo roll I took of a book at the library. This is on an iPhone 15. This time it said: "Problem uploading image. filetype not allowed." Guessing it might be an Apple HEIC format. Also, those files are usually pretty big. May have to convert it to jpg and downsample?

Attempt 3: An image copy/pasted from DDG browser. Got error again, saying:

"Problem uploading image: cannot identify image file 'app/static/tmp/fPNxFlrGkybeGtK.jpeg'. Please try again."

Hope this helps narrow it down.

Seems to be working. Nice work!
