It was really blurry on my end too, but after waiting a couple of minutes and opening it again it was clear. I’ve had that happen occasionally with large images. I’m using Sync for what it’s worth
On Sync I find opening images from the comments is helpful for cases where it becomes over compressed due to size. For some reason that makes it open crystal clear when it appears blurry in the feed.
It’s a png on my end, does lemmy convert it?
Lemmy instance admins often convert images to webp to save bandwidth. That must be the case here as the URL to the image I see is:
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4e9e036a-bbea-41ba-9c26-bad611eea72d.png?format=webp
You literally just posted proof that the image is stored as a PNG.
Take a look at the url again. The part after the
?is optional and can be removed.It was really blurry on my end too, but after waiting a couple of minutes and opening it again it was clear. I’ve had that happen occasionally with large images. I’m using Sync for what it’s worth

Oh shoots, that works! On Sync
That’s what I get for browsing on New lol
No, it’s fine. It’s a PNG and readable. Could be higher resolution though, people are used to sharper text nowadays.
