[Solved] Post image/thumbnail low res? (lemmy.world)

I opened this thread and clicked the image to zoom and it was all blurry. I thought the Op had out in. Low quality image to the post but when I clicked and downloaded the image and opened it, the image was much higher quality.

Is this someone using the "thumbnail" field in the post feature which maybe isn't used that often which is why it hasn't come up for me before? I'm no fediverse expert, is it someone cross posting from another linked site or app and that's why it's displaying differently?

Just strange to have such a low quality image when clicking on the image to view vs. downloading a higher res version.

TIA

Boost fetches a low quality version to save on bandwidth, you can click the hd icon up top if the low quality image is not enough. It worked the same back when it was a Reddit app.

I never noticed that HD icon before when jumping into an image, thank you. Had never had an issue before but great to know. Thanks!

I think there's an option in the settings to skip this low resolution step.

Thank you, found it, "HQ image".
