Most gifs I see don’t play unless clicked on and viewed outside of the post/ comments.

It’s your app and the sites the gifs are hosted on, not Lemmy. Most instances aren’t going to host gifs because they take up a decent chunk of space.
For example: link (its a pussy, don’t click the link if you don’t like that sort of thing I guess).
But that is hosted on lemmy (at least I assume based on the url for the image) and I am viewing it on a web browser, no app. If you expand that gif, it doesn’t play. But if you click the link it plays. That’s what I mean.
