You should be able to run `sxiv -a filename.gif` to view gifs, but I
just get an error:
sxiv: /home/user/picture.gif: Error opening image
sxiv: no more files to display, aborting

It works as expected on my friend's machine running Arch.

I tried [1] and it works with `sxiv -a` here. What does `file picture.gif` say for your file?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I had an mp4 named as
a gif! mpv could play it as-is, so I thought sxiv was to blame. Consider
this issue solved (or rather not a real bug).
Apologies for the delay, I've got my email filters set up wrong and
replies to my issues seem to skip my inbox. I've just searched my
bug-guix folder for my handle and found a lot of stuff now.
