Coming over from boost from reddit, which only shows gifs in comments as a small square (tappable to show the .gif), I am absolutely heartbroken to see that Lemmy boost actually supports them. I've never wanted to see a reaction gif in a comment. Never will. It's IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented and something lemmy should've never copied.

I'd greatly appreciate it if there was a setting to show inline stills as the target link, given that they're sometimes useful and relevant to the discussion, and a setting to either show in comment .gifs as a little square/target link. Even better would be the option to treat comments with .gifs in them as if the user was blocked - i.e. not show them at all.

I concede, their worst feature is new.reddit, but Firefox for android implemented full addon support a few months ago, a workaround before that and I don't even remember how long tampermonkey has been in the recommended list, so I have no interaction with that trash. Any other little annoyances, like breaking up comments to recommend you posts have been trivial to circumvent.
