btw: this was a .gif file but for some reason lemmy converts it into a MP4 file. sorry
pict-rs, the software Lemmy uses to upload media by default, is a bit wack right now so people usually get around this (and some other issues) by uploading to sites like files.catbox.moe or postimages.org (the former of which can upload any media while the latter can only do images/gifs). I recommend checking that out - it can come in handy sometimes!
Do they have a time limit for how long they store them? I knew about catbox but never used it.
They don't! The first site I linked doesn't have a time limit, and for the second one, you can choose whether or not to give files one.

Nice. Thanks for the information.
