Edit: Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip? I know I can put the pages in the post, but is there a way to let users swipe through multiple pages on Lemmy?

Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip?

For me, it's great this way. As long as it is a direct image link. That way my browser does the scaling and I can easy zoom in. Some sites (like imgur) prevent you from direcltly opening the image, prevent zooming and even downscale the image to a blurry mess.

It depends on how you're viewing Lemmy, I think. Via an app, like Boost, it's super pixellated. I think if I were viewing via the site on a browser, it'd be fine.

In my experience (using sync) opening the Post directly then the image gives a full image you can zoom on, but trying to open just the preview gives you a super low res image.

Weird, I am in Sync too and this method works.

Top right is option for "HD" on boost, fixes the blurriness

No way! Thanks, bro.

Sync here loads the pic in full res, no pixellation

Depends on the app too, I guess. I should open an issue with the Boost devs.

Same for me.

This one is a blurry mess for me.

I get a good full res pic (using kbin in firefox for android). Maybe it's your client?

Sync on android, idk why it does this then

You need to open the post, then tap the image.

Tapping the thumbnail directly will give you the thumbnail version of the image.

I'm not sure I get all the jokes here, but what I do get I very much appreciate. Thank you!
