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.
Works on thunder.
Good to know that Thunder and Voyager works. It doesn't for Jerboa, Boost, and Sync. Maybe we can open an issue or message the developers about it.
Not sure how it is for iOS apps though.
Might be android version dependent? Because now I'm on my second phone (on an older android version) and here it doesn't work in Thunder.
Which android version out of curiosity?
11, on a ZenFone 6.
Ah yeah that version is past its end of life. Should avoid using it online it doesn't get security updates anymore.
I see. That could also be the problem. In that case, it might be better to stick with WEBP so other people aren't left out.
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.
The apps are a good point. The image does display correctly in an Android browser, but doesn't load in any of the apps that I have installed.
