    This was definitely accurate at one point, but is not representive of reality today.

    It’s still my experience most times. I’m always quite surprised when some site that isn’t Google accepts a webp.

    Many Lemmy instances are actually configured so that any time you upload an image file, it gets automatically converted to a WebP, so as to take up less server space. Your instance (lemmy.sdf.org) is the only Lemmy instance that I have experience with that instead actually works in the opposite direction: unless something has changed recently, if you attempt to upload a WebP file to that instance, it automatically gets converted to PNG. This behaviour is all up to how the instance admin chooses to configure their pict-rs backend.
