TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Haven't dipped my toes into making gifs or what-have-you, but each time I've tried to use one as a post, any type/source is a gamble.
The original actual video file regardless of where it is hosted has to be explicitly a GIF ... if you upload a WEBM and expect it to be converted to GIF, there isn't many sites that actually do so ... most of them just do the same as Imgur and just tack on a GIF file name while it is still just a WEBM in the background.
Only way around it is to first create a GIF yourself, which is a huge pain because it is like conjuring a sprite in the ancient woodlands of an Irish forest ... and then most of the time you end up with an ugly troll or demon in the form of a shitty little degraded GIF file the size of a thumbtack .... it's takes a lot of time and patience to create a quality GIF that is viewable enough with a small enough file size. It's like trying to draw a detailed painting on a letter sized sheet of paper using a mop as a paint brush.
But once you do actually create a good GIF, you can upload it to places like Imgur, Tenor ... or getyarn.io (a site I never knew about until your posted your GIF here - thanks for that) ... and chances are that your GIF will work as expected.
