I thought gifs had support for audio these days? Or is that just a reddit thing?

those aren’t actually gifs.
they’re frequently webms.

various people don’t care or don’t know the difference between media formats though, so they’ll just call anything remotely gif-like a gif.

It doesn’t help that the shorthand for moving picture sequence is gif. I remember when internet pictures were commonly called jpegs no matter the format. I don’t know what else people should use

The old gif format doesn’t support audio. Anything called gif with audio are mp4 video files. On the imgur site, you may have seen files with the extension gifv, but…

Quote : “When you view a GIFV file on a website such as Imgur, you’re viewing a video file, which would normally have the file extension .mp4 or .webm. The server is configured to serve the video using the extension “.gifv,” but the video’s file format is unchanged.”
