not a bug, thumbnails are just shrunk but not actually smaller

thumbnails if you upload an image and > quote tag them dont actually lower the filesize it seems to just be the same size image

it looks like its generating a thumbnail size image its just not putting it inside the quote tag?

or maybe it works completely differently then eti did

i always felt like eti’s thumbnails were a big excessively small at like 150px

i find this of note because people will literally just upload an embed 10mb gifs cause they feel like it

whats the max filesize anyways

i think ETI’s image servers were set up to actively transcode images to a smaller file to generate thumbnails

as you’ve demonstrated here, the same image is just being dynamically resized, while it appears smaller it still has the same filesize / memory footprint, you can even right click -> open image in new tab on the ‘thumbnail’ and be given the full size img

this tech seems to actually be in place and working for avatars tho

“1mb limit”
“150x150 pixels maximum”
:thinking:

pictures are 10mb max and the thumbnails are max 1024x1024
i might make one level smaller for them idk

oh the easy thing (probably not easy) would be just implement “turn embedded imgs into links” as a toggle for mobile

i used to always use thumbnail on desktop as a compromise for when i’d be on mobile later
