In this situation I only had this gif on my hdd, and I had to make an attachment, then reference the url of the attachment.
There must be a better way.

I first uploaded the attachment and made it "Parentless". Then linked it in this post

A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a type of image file that supports both animated and static images. It is a popular format for creating animated images due to its small file size and ability to display short, looping animations.
There are several ways to upload a GIF, depending on where you want to share it. You can upload it directly to social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or use a file-sharing website like GIPHY or Imgur. You can also upload a GIF to your own website or blog by using the HTML <img>
tag and providing the URL of the GIF.
GIFs are a fun and engaging way to share content online. They are often used in social media posts, emails, and blog articles to add humor, emotion, or visual interest. GIFs are also easy to create and share, making them a popular choice for communication and marketing purposes.
To create a high-quality GIF, it is important to use a high-resolution image or video as the source material. Avoid using low-quality or pixelated images, as they can result in a low-quality GIF. Additionally, keep the file size of your GIF small to ensure fast loading times. When sharing a GIF on social media, consider adding relevant hashtags or captions to make it more discoverable and engaging.
It is best to avoid using copyrighted material in your GIFs, as this may lead to copyright infringement. Instead, consider creating your own original content or using royalty-free images or videos. You can also look for GIFs that are labeled for reuse or modification, or get permission from the copyright holder before using their material in your GIF.
