Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation

Yeah in browser. I should probably open an issue ticket if nobody else noticed yet.

Relevant issue: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/665
tl;dr - it's an issue with the pillow image library in python. It's on our radar though. I got posts working, but you have to click through, the thumbnail still isn't animated.

Oh good looks like you're on it already nice! The only other thing I noticed missing moving from Lemmy was sorting Top by "x" amount of time, but I see there's an open issue for that as well already. Nothing for me to do lol.

Still lots of things to do :)
Lemmy has been at it for years at this point while piefed only started up a bit over a year ago I think? In any case, I have only been a contributor for maybe a couple weeks, so lots of catching up to do!

I’ll bet you a shiny penny that’s what it is. The backend recompresses things to some other format, probably a low bitrate JPEG or something, in order to save space and/or in case some joker uploads a 90 megabyte uncompressed TIFF image to use as a profile pic, or something.
