To help keep hosting costs down I want to link to remote images instead of uploading them. But I also want them to be rendered inline/embedded in the post. At least from Jerboa client I don’t see a way to do that.

You should just be able to insert the image URL directly to the URL field (for posts) and for comments or post bodies you should be able to use markdown formatting to achieve that. For example if you enter ![](https://static.pexels.com/photos/45201/kitty-cat-kitten-pet-45201.jpeg) it should render the following image inline:

The format for embedding images in markdown is ![optional_description](image_url_here).

Not really sure myself tbh. afaik gifs have never really been supported, but when I recently saw another instance using animated community icons, I saw that they were using .webp instead. And since then I have had an animated webp profile picture.
