The lack of gifs and short videos is a BIG downside IMO.

r/whenthe but Lemmy.
GIF macros.
You like text on GIF memes? Cool, we do also.
No idea what the fuck we mean? Look at the other posts and you'll get the gist.
Join in and have fun lads.
P.S. It might be easiest to upload your GIFs to Imgur/Giphy and put a direct link as your post (thus embedding) as Lemmy often doesn't play nicely with them natively.

Yeah, proper video/gif support is a top issue for me, personally. I’ve tried Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff!, and Thunder and so far, only Thunder even plays webm’s for me properly
Well of course a new site has some ramp up time compared to an 18 year old platform.
It's gonna take time
It takes time. There are server issues due to expansion and apps are still in (rapid) development. I think it’ll take months to get things active and running smoothly.
