When viewing GIFs via the default web UI, a single-frame webp preview is shown instead which is specifed as an alternative source for the `` element. You need to click on it to go to the actual GIF, but that means following a link rather than just showing it in the feed. It would be better if it were either an animated webp, so genuinely an alternative source of the same content like the tag’s supposed to be used for, or was eliminated altogether.
