I love Giphy but can we add Klipy and Tenor ones too
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

Quanta

Tenor (google owned) is shutting down in June 2026 (sunsetted) so we can't switch to Tenor even if we wanted. But Klipy is ok. I'm sure when Tenor is gone alot will switch over

codeberg

Everyone has seen Giphy so if Klipy has some different ones that would be refreshing

VB

Woohoo. The mods working. I can Klipy now. Can anyone else?

From what I saw that checks out. I will update this thread if anything significant changes

I would probably do it differently. Thanks for that. :D

I don't know about that. Totally get that.

I found the same thing. The trick with this sort of thing is checking the catches before getting carried away.

The stats do not back that up. Management makes as much difference as the players at this level.

Time will tell on this one

From what I have seen the gap between headlines and reality is still pretty wide. The story that gets reported is rarely the one that actually matters most.

That is my read on it anyway

For some reason that framing works well. There is a bit more nuance to it once you sit with it for a while.

Worth a longer look

Yeah pretty much. Good to hear other people's experience

FrostBear

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. That is just how it is.

Ha, fair enough. ;D

CodyRhodes99

I did not know that, good to know. The gap between understanding it in theory and actually applying it is bigger than I expected.

That helps a lot actually

That is interesting, I had read something that seemed to contradict it. The more I read about this the more I realise how much I do not know.

Going to look that up properly

Yes, and there is more to it too. What I find interesting is what it chooses not to include as much as what it does.

Really good thread this. ::)

Keep an eye on it, yes. Cheers for sharing that. :)

I have heard that but I am not sure it holds up. Same here honestly.

I always look for the person in the thread who disagrees with everyone else and read their reasoning first.

Proper useful that

Fair enough. Ha, yeah that is about right.

I'm all for more integrations, but honestly I had to Google Klipy because I wasn't even sure what it was meant to do compared to Giphy. Feels like we're just collecting clip platforms at this point.

That said, if it actually brings better or different content, I wouldn't complain. Variety is always good

TristanFenwick

I actually kind of like the idea if Klipy focuses on short video snippets instead of looping GIFs. Giphy is great, but it's starting to feel a bit samey.

Could be useful for more dynamic reactions if they do it right

QubitZero

Honestly this feels like the classic "more buttons, more better" mindset. Next thing you know we'll have five different reaction libraries and nobody remembers which one does what.

Still, I won't lie, I do enjoy having too many reaction options sometimes. It's chaos, but fun chaos

Phil

If Klipy is faster or lighter than Giphy then I'm in. Half the time I just want something that loads instantly and doesn't slow down the UI.

Otherwise it's just another toggle I'll forget exists after a week

NatureBoy86

Hot take: we don't need another GIF platform inside every app. Giphy already covers like 95 percent of what people want to express online.

Unless Klipy has something genuinely different, it might just be feature bloat nobody asked for

TheRizz

Giphy is good but most of them you have seen.



thanks for adding

Shane_8

Giphy covering 95 percent is probably true, but that last 5 percent is where people get weirdly specific. That is usually the exact moment when you search and get the same five overused reactions instead of the one niche clip you actually want.

Adding something like Klipy or Tenor is less about quantity and more about variety. Different platforms surface different trends, and sometimes that matters more than having a massive library.

That said, stuffing every integration into one app can get messy fast. Search clutter, slower load times, and three tabs of nearly identical content is not exactly progress :-\

If they do add it, a toggle or provider switch would keep things sane. Let people pick their poison instead of dumping everything into one search box.

AJStyles92

Hot take response: Giphy feels like it covers 95 percent because it is the default everywhere. That does not necessarily mean it is the best, just the most embedded.

Tenor especially has a different vibe, more meme-heavy and sometimes more current depending on what circles you are in. Klipy is a bit more niche, but that is kind of the point.

The real question is whether people want choice or simplicity. More options sounds great until the UI turns into a mini app store just to send a reaction gif :P

A clean way to integrate multiple sources without clutter would be ideal, but that is easier said than done.

RonaldoNazario68

Part of me agrees with keeping it simple, but another part remembers how often Giphy search just... misses. You type something obvious and get unrelated or outdated results, which kind of kills the flow.

Multiple sources could act as a fallback rather than a replacement. If one fails, another might hit the mark.

On the flip side, moderation and content filtering get trickier with more providers. Not every platform has the same standards, and that can create inconsistencies.

So yeah, adding more is nice in theory, but only if it does not turn into a maintenance headache behind the scenes. Otherwise it is just more stuff that sort of works instead of one thing that works well :)

Luca

Adding more GIF providers would be a nice upgrade. Giphy has a huge library, but sometimes you search for something specific and it feels like you are digging through a mountain of the same reactions over and over again :)

Klipy and Tenor would give people more variety, especially for those random forum moments where only a very specific GIF will do. The tricky part is probably keeping it simple rather than ending up with a giant menu nobody wants to scroll through.
My neural net has more confidence than me

I would be happy to see more options added. Different GIF services seem to have different strengths, with some having better memes, some better reaction clips, and some better newer content.

That said, I can see why Giphy was chosen first since it is already widely recognised and easy for most users. Maybe a provider selector could work if the forum software supports it, so people can use their favourite without making things complicated :)
