I think it’s a great time to switch things over.

All major browsers and web engines support it and anything that doesn’t anymore is painfully outdated. This would offer you improved quality to storage ratios. Additionally, it would support 10bit colour which can be important with anime art.

    pictrs can handle it separately. It’s possible to use AVIF for static images and GIF/WEBM for animated images. I know all modern web browsers can handle it but I’m concerned if common Lemmy apps can.

    This is an AVIF image to test:

    edit: I tested a bunch of Lemmy apps on Android. Voyager was the only one that could display properly.

      Oh that’s fascinating. I wonder if they are using the same misconfigured library. I had assumed since the browser engines could, so would the app.
