How does one embed a GIF so it shows in a comment without clicking any links?

Test 2: div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="11156785" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.77515" data-width="100%"a href="https://tenor.com/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785"This Is Just Sad Angry GIF/afrom a href="https://tenor.com/search/this+is+just+sad-gifs"This Is Just Sad GIFs/a/div script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"/script

Test 3: I tried to add it as a picture as a file from the computer but editing this comment doesn't add it.

What did you do for the first one?
- @ContentConsumer9999 What do you mean?
  Adding the GIF as a picture from the Image BROWSE got the GIF rolling.
  That was my third attempt.
  Didn't get it working for my first comment here though.
  
  For me only the one before "Test:" seems to be working. Is that the 3rd one somehow going on top?
Ugh I hope this doesn't become normal for Lemmy, or at least they give us a way to block gifs and whatnot in comments. I hated that when Reddit forced it and instantly blocked ever seeing them.
- @Fiivemacs Using this function for memes is another thing.
  My intention in this discussion is to use GIFs as reactions.
  
  I see no difference tbh, but you do you. I wish the feature was/is there for people to use, but I enjoy not seeing gifs and having them auto load and hope for counter options.
If i remember right: text](link) (same way you do a hyperlink, the 'text' becomes irrelevant for image links)
Example:
Oddly, the gif doesn't animate until you click on it (using Jerbora for Lemmy)
- @Darkassassin07 I see that as a link, however.
  My point was to see the GIF as the GIF itself, moving, instead as a link I need to click to open it to see it.
  
  That's down to your client being incompatible then.
