AVIF instead of WEBP (ani.social)

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.

I'm curious if you would be interested in revisiting this.

Now that more time has passed the support appears to be nearly ubiquitous.

Yeah I think I could revisit this during the break.

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.

[–] Toes@ani.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which android version out of curiosity?

[–] MentalEdge@ani.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

11, on a ZenFone 6.

Did you ever update? :3

No. It was my "old" phone back then already. It's around because it still works, in case I need it for something.

I use an Xperia 1 V as my current.
