I don't know why we can't just have memes and gifs right in amethyst, doesn't seem that hard, or maybe they don't want to. Maybe @lemon could help implement gif buddy into clients.

I hope he's working on that.
I know @Vitor Pamplona made a work around where you can upload gifs as emoji packs
So you can go to emojito.meme and add gif/meme URLs to an emoji pack, publish the event and then it should be available in amethyst

Integrating GIF buddy into clients has been tricky because every developer is different
I made a GIF Buddy API for Corny Chat by @Nice and Kind Vic
I built a tool for creating personalized GIF Collections that uses a custom NIP used in ChaChi by @verbiricha
I publish every GIF that’s copied as a public event under NIP94 that other clients can freely access like noStrudel by @hzrd149
I deployed my own relay where all the GIF related events are publically accessible under:
wss://relay.gifbuddy.lol
And I’m personally trying to code GIFs into @Damus
My goal is to have GIFs (and even memes) in every client, but trying to build a single thing that satisfies each developer has been a challenge so much of my work has been split and pulled into different directions
Part of the challenge is that Nostr clients are inherently all built so differently: web vs. native, iOS vs. Android, one programming language vs. another
Slowly but surely we will get there
GIFs are inevitable


Nothing stops this meme train
One thing they have in common.
Nostr.
Don’t build APIs.
What about SDKs?
