Keeping an eye on this. I got stoat chat up and running, and it’s great so far, but it was a big pain to get rubbing on my environment, it doesn’t have video calling yet or screen sharing, and it’s still using the Tenor API which just got deprecated some time in January 2026 so GIF search doesn’t work (I have vague plans to try and switch that to Giphy, and submit it to the team for review if I can get it to work).

The team seems to be working on their own solution to the GIF thing

Neat, I’ll keep an eye out for that; ideally they’ll implement something less centralised than Giphy. In the meantime I got their admin panel running in my environment too, by fixing the source, so Giphy is next on my list. I want my users to be able to do gif searches 🤷♀️

Klipy is probably a better option, afaik their api is a dropin replacement and the gif search is much better.

I thought you’d like to know, I spent the last 8 or 9 hours on this:
It would be drop-in replacement if I was satisfied with leaving a bunch of crap hardcoded. But no, I’m a frackin’ madman and I decided that if I was gonna do this I was gonna do it right and put the gif provider config in env vars, replacing all the hardcoding, and then also putting in valid link construction for gif search, and actually putting it into chat. So far it only works with Klipy, as far as I’ve tested… but it does work.
