I was under the impression that Jpeg XL was written out of modern browsers due to Google pushing their image format instead or are you talking specific support with in Pixelfed app?

Sadly yes. It’s included by default in Apple devices and there are talks to bring it back with a Rust port. I think Google walked back a bit from their standard setting bullying practice with the antitrust lawsuits / threats of getting broken up. No idea if that will continue with the Musk administration.

here’s your issue trackers.
I must say though, this seems like a strange feature to draw the line on, is it really that important to you what image format is used?

Not for me but I can see how it would be for some people joining a platform focusing on image content.

Yes. JPEG is limited to 8-bit (which works well with sRGB) and modern displays and cameras capture much more than that (typically 14). I don’t want to limit my photo development with poor color definition. Thanks for the links (I’m already subscribed).
