 On Twitter, there's a GIF library I can look up for memes in-app, and post them. Sometimes I use it, and sometimes I don't.

As a memer, Twitter is easier than Nostr thus far. On Nostr, I have to be more conscious about it, and always upload an image or video. More friction. 
 Self sovereign memers are the backbone of the shitpost....
Anything else is a pale imitation 😉

Embrace the pain and transform

 Meme vending machine #dvm 
Universal Nostr meme library relay 
 The worst is thinking of the gif or meme and not being able to find it! 
 I am very specific on that. If I can't find it, I'll go download it elsewhere, customize it, and upload it. 
 I know that Nostur and Damus have GIF selectors. Or do you mean something else? 
 Where do you find GIFs in #damus?

Just sitting over here asking for unreasonable shit for free 🤣 
 GIF searching is the hardest feature to implement apparently 😅 
 When I read notes like these I wonder how do people add gifs? 

It doesn’t seem that slow to me. 
 Openvibe's had it sourced through Tenor since the Plebstr days. 
 Wrong Derek!

1. @primal daily driver
2. @damus when primal doesn’t load
3. @openvibe for GIF posting

it’s so easy💀😆🤙🏽 
 I think most of the libraries or plugins or whatever that make it easy are riddled with tracking. I think the feature is missing because it would need to be built from scratch or user privacy would suffer 
 Users wanting built in access to a gif library? Imagine that… 😏 
 @primal 🤓 
 It doesnt have gif keyboard support :( 
 never getting any zap or like i miss the viewer count twitter has. feel empty with out it. 
 If someone ever looks at my phone they will wonder why the same gif is saved on my phone 50 times. I literally go search and download again each time instead of browsing for it in the gallery mess I have. Very inefficient 😅😂 
 Lyn speaks so I’m confident it will happen 
 I've never ever used Twitter so I don't know what I'm missing out on. Copy and paste works for me 
 A Nostr  Lyn with quick access to memes would be dangerous for society 
 I thought we all came to nostr to be a danger to society. Give me Lyn unleashed! 
 Agreed. But that's a feature, not a bug.

 but then my feed will be full of anime and classic memes

Sign me up. 
 I too, like the memes 
 There’s a race between all clients to make NOSRT Lyn happy! 
 Nostr* can’t correct spelling mistakes either’ 
 You can on #Amethyst. 💜

I'm nkt an exoert on this, but I think it sends the update note as a new note to all the relays, and instructs them to display the new note in place of the original. As long as the relays cooperate (all good so far), the user's notes appear to be edited. 
 Ah, never mind. It looks like it's an Amethyst-side thing, not a relay-side thing.

I made a lot of unintentional typos in that comment, but I left them alone so I could edit them and then compare it on Amethyst and Primal. On Amethyst it's fixed, but not on Primal.

 Let’s get this going, devs! 
 There's a Nostr client with direct zaps in the app, trying to remember the name... 🤔🐶 
 Yeah, like when are you assholes gonna implement actual in app camera features instead of this lousy ass image upload bullshit? 

Like you devs are just lazy, hurry it up. Because you obviously work for me.

 As we address how to make #NOSTR even better. I wish to suggest the like ♥️ under each post to be switch on and switch off: for me switch on is ok but when after a second thought I want to switch off, I can simply not! May be is my internet connection here too slow? 
 no thats how nostr is sady 
 Yes but let’s not forget the essential #freedom benefits of #nostr and let’s adapt to its first steps. 
 true 
 The UK government would say that’s a pro instead of a con. https://image.nostr.build/8ee9c5a1c8adf6afc2d774226989afb7d720254dfab1f2e85c6854e0a11593cb.jpg  
 in mother UK you're the gif catalog 
 I feel this

 Wait, I'm using this since forever. it's not a new feature it's just the keyboard 👀 
 Just doesn't work on any client the keyboard gif 
 Hold up... How?...

I also use GBoard with #amethyst, which is what this looks to be. But sometime back this stopped working

You can see in this screenshot the gif button is greyed out and when pressed you get an error

 I'm not saying it's the best process (better would be to click and add) but that's what I'm doing:

 Ooooh gotcha gotcha yea that's been my workaround also. I thought your screenshot was just the native integration working and I was so confused 😄 
 which keyboard do you use? 
 Microsoft swift key works better still

 There is an open ticket for amethyst. https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/issues/138 
 <10Mb…. 
 Indeed. Nostr is awesome, but it won't take off unless using it is superior to what it aims to replace.  
 You only need a train image, no need for other gifs hehe 
 Platforming vs Protocoling. The battle continues. 
 You can use GIFs with the @openvibe client. 
 Freerse has integrated Tenor, so you can search and use your favorite GIFs at any time. You can also long press on other people’s posts GIF to directly collect your favorite GIFs.
nostr:note1qr0j3j93hmmg7z4v0er5w64a6tu2n2ple0mpq3ktyn4y75rzezmqx9stz5 
 It's stuff like this why Twitter will continue winning over Nostr.

nostr:note1txeyfde8kvr9gdjlf2yucwd23l9489wh5852ay6v6wgp5dgxxdhsw4lmj0  
 There's also a lot of simple usability issues too with different apps/browsers.

Nostr users know that the tech is still in beta but we choose to use it anyway.

Viva la revolución! 
 Yes it’s hard work
https://m.primal.net/JtoX.jpg 
 Too much friction 
 True I’ve been thinking about this. I need to take a few of my favorite memes upload to Nostr build 
 Do you have Canva? They have GIPHY and you can create your own memes using their catalog download them and then keep the link on Nostur build 
 Gifs and in app image processing are something I miss.  They make life easier.
 
 privacy is friction 
 Would be cool to integrate a whole meme editor in nostr clients. 
 For lots of memes it's jist adding text to standard “meme image”, so editor can just create note with with some identifikator of image with text “Some text” on position xy with font F.
With this we can save lots of data if clients download image just one time instead of 12 times…1
