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 kimageformats5 later and Gwenview/Okular can open it fine. Firefox still refuses to open it even with image.jxl.enabled set to true.
- Huh.
  
  Memmy on my iPhone just shows it
  
  Yeah jxl is fully supported on iOS
- 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 .jxl still 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?
- 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 :)
- Firefox jxl support is restricted to nightly
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
Why is it .jpg and 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 .jxl JPEG-XL upload I did on Lemmy three days ago;

I'll upvote out of principal but fuck tryin to look at that shit lol
Loads fine on Mlem on my iPhone
- It is supported through the entire Apple product line in recent versions.
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
Works in Cromite on android tho.
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=webp query argument, if I change that to ?format=jxl then it breaks as the server actually provides a .jxl file. At least I had to TRY to break it :P

Loads by default for me on Firefox Android, and I can see the embed just fine.
Works for me on Eternity for Lemmy on Android 13.
