Comment on GIFs are moving to Discourse core!
Moin@meta.discourse.org 11 hours ago But I have configured the disabled_image_download_domains setting to prevent the download of GIFs provided by Giphy. If you change the provider, this will suddenly break. I don’t think GIFs are important enough to be preserved. It’s not worth the space nor the edit indicators on posts.
I remember how annoying it was after switching from Tenor to Giphy, and I don’t expect that to be part of your migration.
Will your migration try include translation overrides done on the theme? I know you tried that with the welcome banner and the result on my forum were default texts for German users but texts migrated from the banner in English so I had to revert them manually. Do I need to check the texts after this migration too?
I will have a look into this, possibly the migration script can be extended to handle this automatically by appending the media urls for Klipy to the site setting if it is already enabled for another provider.
We will likely have several updates to the rake task in the next couple of weeks so I will check this too. At the moment the change is experimental and currently being tested on internal sites first.
