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.

That’s awesome! It’s a shame the first pr got closed because the maintainer prefers a worse provider lmao.

I’m not sure they fully read what the changes do… Because right now it’s not even just a worse provider, it’s straight up broken for self-hosters. Maybe the stoat team are doing this just to force everyone into a subscription in the end, so they aren’t interested in making it any better for self-hosters? Maybe they actually just hate self-hosting, or are really really into hardcoding values? No idea 🤷♀️
My branch is still available on my own repo though, if anyone wants to try building from that.
