Some Gfycat links don't embed anymore

Since the last few days, numerous people have experienced problems with some link embeds of gfycats. You can post a certain link, but it won't embed with the gfycat itself - if you want to see it you just have to press on the link and you're taken to their website. It doesn't matter how many times you repost the gifs in the same or other channel/server, it just won't embed. I'm not entirely sure if this problem only arises with new gfycats, but I'm pretty sure I saw one person linking an older gfycat and it had the same problem - though I can't find the example right now so please don't take my word for it.

I myself have the problem with two gifs right now: https://gfycat.com/gleaminghopefulbluebreastedkookaburra & https://gfycat.com/wellmadeachingbettong. I don't know if this problem lies with Gfycat or with Discord, so I'm just bug reporting this with both companies.

Edit: For clarification, most gif embeds are fine, this only happens with a handful of gifs, like the ones that I linked.

    I am experiencing a similar issue except none of my gfycats embed anymore. 

    To quickly test I pasted your gifs onto my server and they embedded without issue but I guess this post is three months old at the time of writing (201029) so maybe the origins of my problem is coming from gfycat
