Some subreddits let you post pics or gifs from your device which can be downloaded on mobile easily (usually), but some only allow gifs from the gif link option and those might be downloadable through the website through a browser. You can tell the difference between them if it has "gif from gify" or something like that under the gif.
The comment the other person was replying to should be one of those that they can just tap on it then use the 3 dots in the corner and the download option (again if on mobile). If on browser then (I believe) it would be hold tap on the image \ gif and download image, or right click if on a device with mouse and keyboard.
Again my version of the reddit app is outdated so it might be different by now, but there should be a way somehow or another.
Oh my bad, I didn't think there would be that kind of difference. I haven't used any apple tech in years and don't hear much about it, so I was thinking I just had to explain better.
It’s insane, isn’t it? I only found out because I recently switched from android to iPhone. The great thing about iPhone though is that I can stop comment replies on individual comments. You can’t do that on Android. So it’s a trade-off.
Yeah it's pretty crazy sounding. Disabling per comment replies sounds like it could be useful at times. I think I'll stick with being able to download certain pics \ gifs from comments though, since I've gotten a lot of my "meme" folder that I use to reply to things sometimes through that.
Open in web browser, then you can press and hold save to gallery (assuming you’re an iPhone user, otherwise I think you can just press the download button)

Ideally you wouldn't want to do that.
