I finally found time for this. Here are some changes:
- Image, gif and video extensions will no longer be changed, they will remain as they are.
- File quality will not be reduced, they will remain at max quality.
- Added support for types such as APNG, JPEG-XL.
- Animation types will not be converted to video.
- The file size limit remains at 20mb. If I can somehow solve the donation issue, I would like to increase this limit in the future.
Thanks to @asonix for making the above and many more improvements.
Please let me know if you encounter any errors. I need to tweak the configurations a bit more I guess.
Does Lemmy not use thumbnails? I mean smaller size version of the actual image. I feel like everytime I try to look at new posts (“local” and “scaled” at lemmynsfw.com) it tries to load all full size images on the page. I assume I then get rate limited and lemmynsfw loads really slowly for a few minutes. This problem doesn’t appear when looking at older posts that I have already viewed because the images are probably already cached.
This is definitely something that should be fixed.

This is a Lemmy problem and they’re improving it a lot. I’ll wait for the next update and then do something if it’s insufficient for us 👍
Thanks!
