Animated GIFs in Lemmy Thumbnails/Icons – Disable/Block? (lemmy.world)

Call me old-fashioned, but I think 86MB is an obscenely large size for an image thumbnail. Would rather not have these automatically download as I'm on a limited data plan. Wish I had the option to substitute a static image for the thumbnail.

I realize that post may be entirely appropriate for the community to which it was submitted, but have seen plenty of animated avatar icons, etc. and just find that sort of thing distracting and would like to disable or block them if possible. Using Firefox and already running a script blocker with allowances for Lemmy server instances.

I agree… GIFs overall are ridiculous for showing video as far as size goes. Since coming to Lemmy and creating my own instance I’ve been very conscious of the size of my posts.
