      I am sorry guys but I guess it is an issue with your clients, the image has a pretty high resolution.

      Ask the author of your Lemmy client for a fix :D

        I’m just scrolling on Sync and everything looks crisp and fine even zoomed in

        It’s not a client issue. It’s a lemmy/instance-specific issue. Look at the following link in your browser, then tap the image to expand. You will see bad image quality. https://lemmy.world/comment/11323036

        Edit: Works fine with my vger.social account. Looks like shit on lemmy.world.

        Edit 2: Looks like shit on sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world. Which are both running very outdated 0.19.3. Looks great on feddit.org, vger.social, lemm.ee which are running up to date version of Lemmy (0.19.5).

          Hmm, I’m on world, but using sync as my client and the image opens to full res when I tap on it. So it is at least something a client can fix.

            Probably because Sync on your phone is connecting/downloading directly from Imgur, which is bad for privacy. Voyager uses the image cached on your instance, if possible, to avoid connecting to arbitrary hosts to load images when browsing your feed.

              Oh ok. Well I probably like this better. If it had a toggle in options, I would toggle it this way. But it sounds like it should have a toggle in options at least. For all I know, maybe it does.

        So on Voyager, if you click the image, then use the three-dot menu to select “open in browser” it will open the high res image direct from imgur.

        Otherwise yeah it’s viciously downscaled

          It’s a problem with lemmy.world, likely due to running outdated lemmy 0.19.3 (looks great on lemm.ee, feddit.org, vger.social)

    Really cool chart.

    Not sure if OP is among us, but a couple of thoughts (meant constructively):

    • “Map” seems like the wrong word to me - chart maybe?
    • There’s a typo on Tolkien/Tolkein
    • “Age of Discovery” might be disputed by the people already living in the places “discovered”

    Very interesting though

      Pitfalls of the English language as a German:
      card – die Karte
      chart – die Karte
      map – die Karte

    Why is “Business Leader” a category? What actual business leader has had any kind of long term effect on mankind? Gutenberg is the only one that comes to mind. Why are we acknowledging business leaders contributions when the biggest criticism of them as people is that they don’t contribute?

    Legit love the pirates covered as business leaders though.

      Id argue they don’t need an effect - they are known, this is when they lived.

    Does the vertical positioning of the lines mean anything? It’s useful to see people who existed at the same time, but I wonder if there’s a better way of grouping like people rather than colour and toss them anywhere.

      I see that it’s a 4562 x 5090 (23.2MP) resolution png photo, it appears very readble to me. Is your client showing a downscaled version or do you really need higher?😅

      It is hi res - if you are using Boost for Lemmy when you open the image, look in the upper right hand corner and hit HD - that will load the HD version. It’s just loading the smol version to be faster for you, you can adjust that in your settings I believe.

        As a workaround I had been using open in browser when needed but I’m happy to learn about the HD button.

    Ivan the Terrible is wrong by 2 centuries. The picture has him as 1754-1793, somehow after Peter the Great, but he actually lived 1530-1584. That’s a really weird mistake

    The didn’t confuse Ivan the Terrible with Catherine the Great, because she lived 1729-1796 so those dates don’t match either

      Catherine the Great is included further down with correct dates, but only as “Royal” instead of “Tsar”.
