idk if its the app im using (interstellar) but that's beyond blurry for me.
With sync for lemmy, I got to go into the post first and click the image there to get the resolution. As if clicking the image directly just opens a preview.
Huh, neat thanks. I've had this happen a few times and apparently never tried that. Much easier to read now lol!
Quality is good on Voyager
Apps don't usually render Lemmy content universally well. In such cases you might use the browser page as a fall-back?
e.g. PieFed renders this to perfection for me on Android Firefox at https://piefed.social/post/889181 . The original Lemmy version at https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ce7d4419-038a-4d75-824e-d48aae69c122.png is janky but quite serviceable.
It's perfectly fine for me (mbin) so I guess it must be the app.
Its like that for me on Thunder as well... I think there may be some kind of setting irt to ... how it caches/renders thumbnails from posts, but yeah, all these giant, extremely vertical image caps, usually from tumblr, just are not handled well on mobile apps.
The images are stupid huge in size, so most apps attempt to scale the preview resolution... and then that looks like ass because they are very very vertical, instead of something closer to 16:9.
It'll go to the real image when you click on it, but then zooming and scrolling through it is also a bit fucky wucky, because the dimensions are so out of wack.
Looks fine for me on interstellar.
I think it's the source itself, Boost let's me zoom in but the quality doesn't improve.
