Earlier today I wanted to post a PNG file that was 7 Mb and burggit basically got stuck uploading. I ended up resizing it so it would be under 4 Mb and that solved it but ideally I would like to preserve the size and quality as much as possible.
That got me thinking of using webp instead but I’m not sure how compatible lemmy is with it (not to mention 3rd party apps). Could an admin enlighten me on what format I should try to use for still images? Much appreciated.
Ah, I think that might have been the issue. I just checked the URLs I posted weren’t direct image links even though they ended in the image extension. I’ll try with the direct link next time and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks!
