    As I posted in response to another comment along these lines:

    While as a user it sucks that is exactly the reasons people do it. It takes the value away from reddit, if the content that users want to see it not there people will not go there.

    What I find the best compromise is users that take their comments they had on reddit and post them again as it’s own post to lemmy with the context needed. While not perfect the information is at least not lost completely and a google search in the future might actually bring someone to a lemmy instance instead of to a corporation like reddit. But that is obviously a lot of work to do, especially if you have lot of helpful comments on reddit.

  • Interesting. I’ve in the past specifically encoded images for a webpage I created to .webp using https://squoosh.app as I determined it visually looked best for the file size while also being supported by pretty much all modern browsers.

    And since none of the other modern image formats you’ve listed are widely supported by many modern browsers I will probably do the same again when I have to create another website with some images. But I would hope that other formats gain more traction in browsers so that I can use them in the future.
