I would happily host a mirror for them. I should reach out.

That makes sense - I'm AT&T wireless and home fiber and yarn embeds always appear as text links to me
August 17, 20241 yr I've just been copying the yarn link into imgbb and posting that image link here. Seems to work fine.
August 22, 20241 yr The bigger question is why are all the gifs now found in a Google search mostly found on yarn? That abortion of a website is completely unusable. Eff yarn.

But downloading and uploading them takes longer than just linking a yarn gif into imgbb. Is there a way to do that? Can I "choose files" and just paste it into the browse window. I haven't done it in a while. So I don't remember.

Eff yarn. Restated for emphasis. How the fuck has Yarn somehow scooped up every gif on the internet, stuck it on their site, and made it impossible to copy and paste it elsewhere. Seriously wtf is going on? This is America!

Are they served out of the gif picker or something?

Whether I find the gif on google image search (hosted on yarn) or directly on yarn itself, copy/paste works for me. I try and avoid the yarn website, because its a piece of shit, but if you visit and land on a "video" file, there is a "gif" button there as well: Click that and copy/paste the resulting gif.

Seconded. But, the above only happens on mobile. Desktop copy/paste links seems to work fine.
June 30Jun 30 Being almost exclusively a movie gif poster, I am yarn power user. I just save the gif and let Surly do the hosting.
