The lengths I had to go through to open this even on my Linux desktop. Wow.
- pictrs failed to generate the thumbnail
- The image crashes Firefox
- Chromium shows a broken image icon
- Gwenview says it can’t load the metadata
- Okular says it’s an unsupported image format
I had to open the darn thing in GIMP lmao
E: one install of
kimageformats5later and Gwenview/Okular can open it fine. Firefox still refuses to open it even withimage.jxl.enabledset to true.As an Android user, OP’s image was accurate.
- My Lemmy app couldn’t open it.
- Chromium showed the broken image icon.
- Firefox said it was broken.
- Firefox Beta with the about:config flag for enabling JXL still said it was broken.
- Gallery apps couldn’t open it.
- Renaming it to
.jxlstill didn’t help.
I gave up and grabbed a JPEG XL viewer/converter just to see it.
i don’t want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?

It’s “JPEG xl is a superior image format that your device should support.”
I don’t remember what it said exactly, but here’s a rough description:
Image Description
It’s the King of the Hill if those kids could read they’d be very upset meme, with the piece of paper saying “JPEG XL memes” and the kids in the classroom being labeled “Android users”.
Almost full marks,
the paper says
JPEG XL is a superior image format that your device should support
The built-in Firefox support is only activated for unstable builds, so you can’t enable it on stable unless you manually enable it during compile-time.
You have to have an extension to get jxl on Firefox and even then it’s still buggy :)
I couldn’t view this with Firefox or Gnome. ImageMagick to the rescue, though:

Lmao, I tought it was some instance issue (didn’t read the title).
We should all use jxl and force people to support it
c/programmerhumor is going to be the place where people go to try and break fediverse clients, isn’t it?
That “people who forget the terminator” post approves
Why is it
.jpgand not.jxl? That’s the registered extension for JPEG-XL.I’m going to assume Lemmy doesn’t allow native upload for jxl, but to fudge around it you can use jpg?
Here’s a
.jxlJPEG-XL upload I did on Lemmy three days ago;
https://lemmy.ananace.dev/pictrs/image/ad4e745e-0135-4cc3-889c-052600828d82.jxlI checked the headers and content and this checks out!
Does this mean there’s some way to upload an animated GIF that Lemmy won’t convert to a static format?
Interestingly, this JXL loads in Boost, but the one in the post doesn’t. Perhaps it’s because it’s inside a comment?
No, it’s because this is actually named .jxl and not .jpg
I’ll upvote out of principal but fuck tryin to look at that shit lol
Interesting, it struggles with the embedded image here on Lemmy, but when going to the image directly, I can see it fine.
Edit: OS: Windows 10 Pro / Browser: Firefox with JPEG-XL support enabled
Loads fine on Mlem on my iPhone
It is supported through the entire Apple product line in recent versions.
Loads by default for me on Firefox Android, and I can see the embed just fine.
worked fine on my android phone, using Connect.
worked fine on firefox & linux, the file shows as .webp to me.
Decided to investigate this a bit: when opened to new window, the image url has
?format=webpquery argument, if I change that to?format=jxlthen it breaks as the server actually provides a .jxl file. At least I had to TRY to break it :P% file c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.* c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.jxl: JPEG XL codestream c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding, 623x700, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clampWorks for me on Eternity for Lemmy on Android 13.
