Because the backend for media storage in Lemmy is pictrs, and svg isn't one of the supported file format.
That said, I wish as the instance admin that we could store some custom emojis as svg :(
We could make them very light on resources, and easily scalable.
Looks like you can embed SVGs in markdown, and they render (tested in Tesseract and Lemmy-UI). So if you link them externally, support is technically there.
Lemmy Logo SVG
EmojiMart also supports SVG for custom emojis. So I guess if you host SVG custom emojis from a static folder, they should work as-is, though you'd need to add them to the database manually (which is a Lemmy UI limitation since it only presents an upload field rather than a URL field).
But yeah, pict-rs seems to be the roadblock for "native" support.
Works in Voyager.
Nice. I figure all the web-based ones should unless they've got a static list of image types that doesn't include svg. The installed apps could be hit or miss depending on how they're implemented.
Does not work on Boost
The spoiler tag doesn't work either, lol
