[FIXED] The lemmy.ml pictrs server is resizing all images to thumbnail size
Edit: this appears to be fixed now: https://lemmy.ml/post/22203615/14801411
All images in posts on lemmy.ml are currently being resized to 256px on the longest dimension (width/height), even if they are image posts, not intended to be just article thumbnails.
Is this an intentional change? It makes text in images illegible and means that I have to view the original post to see the original image on every image post.
If this is a deliberate space-saving measure, could it be tuned for a little better usability? For example, increasing the maximum size of image when the post is an image post (as opposed to a web link that generates a thumbnail) and setting a size threshold to trigger resize (ie. most small images could be left alone).
Some examples from my feed:
Yeah this looks horrible. Hoping they can fix it
Edit: looks like an issue was opened for this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2796
I suspect some misconfiguration on their pictrs.
I’m also noticing this. Since many of the posts are screen caps of text, this is making many posts completely illegible. The artifacting makes the text unreadable.
Can confirm, on voyager app, all images are tiny res
Swap to diff instance on same app, images are fine.
