I'm noticing that a lot of my memes are auto saved as webps, what can I convert these into so as to be most compatible and least likely to offend those that care about file formats?

    I mean, if we're being realistic, everything I use supports .webp now. Hell, every upload on my instance Blajåj becomes one (not Lemmy universal, as noted by SatyrSack)

    That is something set by your instance admin. lemmy.sdf.org actually automatically converts uploaded WEBP files to PNG. It's just up to what the admin wants.

    Jpg

    It's old, as in 1980's, so everything supports it

    I'd recommend webp

    Everything supports it and it can be lossy or lossless as needed.

    also if you only view them and don't care about editing them you can straight up rename the *.webp to *.jpg

    it'll still open as a jpg outside of your browser, but it apps that you'd use for image editing still won't want it

    Iirc that means it'll stay a webp, some program will just fail to open them and the once that can only do it because they recognize the file header and therefore disregard your file extension shenanigans.

    What I'm saying is if you do that it's funny but also completely useless.
