can explore https://pypi.org/project/lottie/ to convert lottie -> gif

Hey, after exploring how we can handle this... here are a couple options:

1. Generate a GIF within Modmail (takes ~10 seconds)
2. Pre-generate all GIFs and store it in Modmail/another external repo
3. Only generate the first frame (takes ~0.08 seconds)

I'm personally in favour of the 3rd option, 10 seconds for sending a message would definitely take too long and pre-generating gifs require constant updating on our side. Thoughts?

Does anyone know how often discord updates these stickers?

Users can also send custom stickers if they have nitro so maintaining would be difficult (Lottie is locked to partnered / verified servers), I agree with the 3rd option but just generate a png instead of a gif if it’s possible or 3rd as is works imo.

If partnered servers can do LOTTIE as well, best to just generate a thumbnail.

would be nice to make it a config option, to either have it as opt 1 or 3
