A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.
Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.
Rules:
- All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
- No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
- All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
- Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
- Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
- No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

The problem with animated images and uploading them to Lemmy is that pict-rs will typically convert them. Each instance can and often does have its pict-rs service configured differently. Some will just convert them to static images, some will convert to GIF, etc. If you upload to catbox, that shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, I haven't messed with animated webp much.
So you'll probably want to check with your instance admins (or run some posts somewhere) to see what works best.
I uploaded this one to Lemmy (instead of my usual use of Catbox), and have no complaints with its integrity after uploading. It looks just as good/bad here as the raw file did before uploading, and has basically the same file size.
The MP4 I exported was only 200 KB with much higher resolution/quality. I had to compress the WEBP immensely to get it down to 260 KB, just because I wanted it to loop automatically.
I am wondering if there might be a better way to export/convert the file before uploading, or if WEBP is just not as magical in its compressibility as I had thought.
Maybe try JPEG-XL?
