masto admin, custom emoji question 

how do you upload animated emojis? I made an APNG with a .png extension but masto complained that it was "invalid"

@balrogboogie think there might be file size limits as well? I vaguely recall 50kb being a thing but I might be wrong

masto admin, custom emoji question 

@troubleMoney you're right, but this file is only ~500B

masto admin, custom emoji question 

@balrogboogie certainly isn't that then

don't know what's going on there, it worked fairly smoothly last time I uploaded one

@troubleMoney i'm assuming it's something to do with how I created it, so i'm gonna look into that

(i had a GIF that i tried to convert to APNG, and I'm not 100% sure that went smoothly, though OSX seems to be ok with the file)

@noelle @troubleMoney I just did `convert the.gif the.apng` and then `mv the.apng the.png`. i'll try ezgif

@noelle @troubleMoney that worked, thanks noelle!
