Could be a Lemmy.Zip thing, then. Would be nice if the people who run instances would also consider how their personal hosting choices effect sharing across the wider internet. I get us tech nerds have our respective preferences for obscure formats for various reasons, but we really should be playing somewhat nicely with other environments if we want to attract users.
When I try to use the built-in share feature, it’s sharing it as a .avif file. Wonder if it’s specific to the app I’m using (Voyager). Something I’ve only noticed happening recently.
? This is just jpg
Some homeservers convert uploaded images automatically to save space iirc

Either way, good content at least!
It shows avif in browser too
Wonder why that happened tho? Is it my instance or voyager (posted using it)? Because the image locally was jpg

Tested uploading an image reply in browser and Voyager, and they both seem to upload in webp. Perhaps a lemmy.zip instance thing?
Oh yes its .zip, I confirmed from the instance admin. Apparently they do it to keep storage cost as low as possible
Works just fine in voyager for me
