    Testing to see if Lemmy is compressing uploaded images to lower quality

      I think that’s going to depend on the specific server you upload it to, and then the other servers it may go through to federate to whoever is viewing it, and the settings for the underlying pictrs service on each.

        In this case it’s the same server as OP. I figured it was a good test.

      It looks similar to me, but I’m on my phone and it’s harder to tell.

        Yeah, I did it all on phone as well. The one you posted isn’t bad, there’s just a bit of compression artifacts around the edges of the lines. Since you linked the author’s website, I thought that you likely had shared the image directly from there. So, I did a quick copy/paste directly from the site and posted here without saving the file to my phone. The resulting file is a png without compression artifacts. I definitely learned what I was curious about.
