JanitorNah, can immidiately see there's no dither or banding like with that post.

MemberI'm going to keep in mind about how the edits were made for next time, like how the APNG version is now the parent, as opposed to the GIF version, for one.
I'm still getting used to parenting, so I'm taking notes on this wherever I can.

JanitorGenerally speaking with differend animation fileformats, keep highest quality/primary as parent and rest as child posts.
APNG is fully lossless format, GIF is limited to 256 colors, WebM is lossy fileformat so there's visual video compression. I also added description just to double make sure to users that what they are watching as even though for me these things visually are obvious, I can definitely see how users might not see any difference between these especially on something like tiny mobile screen.
But yeah, animations are exclusion where dublicates can be uploaded if it's differend fileformat. Alternatively you can also just upload the most superior version and just link to external sites for other versions in description because even if in case something like GIF version dies, it can always be re-generated from APNG, where if APNG is lost it cannot be regenerated from GIF at full quality.
