PyLova (Python+Pavlova) is a soft fork of PieFed, aimed at improving the user experience through UI overhauls, empowering users and admins with agency, improved administration and moderation functions, and general bug fixing.

New in V0.4.1

New & Improved

  • Customisable Sidebar Widgets: You can now choose what widgets appear (if any) and in what order. Selection is small for now, this feature will be expanded upon further in future updates. Please suggest any ideas for widgets you would like to use.

Bug-Fixes & Misc

  • Can Sort Communities by Sub Count
  • Comms can now be assigned into multiple communities.
  • Fixed security vulnerability with markdown injection.
  • New Communities without post body were breaking daily cron jobs.
  • Updated requirements. For older instances this should enable AVIF in post thumbnails.
  • Images upload into WebP to reduce storage needs.

Personally, no, I do not have an issue. For still images, it seems that WebP works just fine for everyone everywhere, so I upload just about every still image as WebP anyway. But a lot of apps still don't handle WebP animations optimally, so I like to use GIF for most animations. But through a little testing, it seems like animated files don't actually convert to WebP, so that doesn't seem to be an issue.

some testing
GIF I just uploaded, which ended up as GIF:

AVIF I just uploaded, which ended up as AVIF:

JPEG I just uploaded, which ended up as WebP:

ShUggHyKLKhp6VY.webp

I am glad to see that it is customizable by the admin. I am not actually an admin myself at all, but I know that different admins tend to have different opinions on the issue. Notably, lemmy.sdf.org actually works in the opposite direction: any WebP image uploaded gets automatically converted to PNG, which I assume is a philosophical choice due to WebP being controlled by Google.
