Been meaning to ask for awhile; especially relevant with the most recent Pawb outage apparently being due to lack of storage space.

A post from 6 months ago claims that Lemmy as a whole still doesn’t support AVIF or JXL uploads; is that also true of Pawb?

    AVIF has >90% compat., especially for most-recent versions of browsers. JXL is waaay less supported, but can be enabled with config switches in both FF & Chrome (and it just works by default in Safari).

    Again, inclusion of software-specific image formats like .AI and .XCF implies someone added those arbitrarily in Pawb/Lemmy code. Hoping that @Crashdoom et al. can chime in – if they’re not busy, obviously; AVIF compat. is a minor nitpick compared to the recent backend & downtime issues
