I am sorry guys but I guess it is an issue with your clients, the image has a pretty high resolution.
Ask the author of your Lemmy client for a fix :D
I'm just scrolling on Sync and everything looks crisp and fine even zoomed in
It's not a client issue. It's a lemmy/instance-specific issue. Look at the following link in your browser, then tap the image to expand. You will see bad image quality. https://lemmy.world/comment/11323036
Edit: Works fine with my vger.social account. Looks like shit on lemmy.world.
Edit 2: Looks like shit on sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world. Which are both running very outdated 0.19.3. Looks great on feddit.org, vger.social, lemm.ee which are running up to date version of Lemmy (0.19.5).
Hmm, I'm on world, but using sync as my client and the image opens to full res when I tap on it. So it is at least something a client can fix.
Probably because Sync on your phone is connecting/downloading directly from Imgur, which is bad for privacy. Voyager uses the image cached on your instance, if possible, to avoid connecting to arbitrary hosts to load images when browsing your feed.
Oh ok. Well I probably like this better. If it had a toggle in options, I would toggle it this way. But it sounds like it should have a toggle in options at least. For all I know, maybe it does.
A lot of instances did not upgrade yet because of the awkwardly implemented tagging feature.
So on Voyager, if you click the image, then use the three-dot menu to select “open in browser” it will open the high res image direct from imgur.
Otherwise yeah it’s viciously downscaled
It's a problem with lemmy.world, likely due to running outdated lemmy 0.19.3 (looks great on lemm.ee, feddit.org, vger.social)
Works for me on voyager
Really cool chart.
Not sure if OP is among us, but a couple of thoughts (meant constructively):
- "Map" seems like the wrong word to me - chart maybe?
- There's a typo on Tolkien/Tolkein
- "Age of Discovery" might be disputed by the people already living in the places "discovered"
Very interesting though
Pitfalls of the English language as a German:
card – die Karte
chart – die Karte
map – die Karte

Ah, I see - makes sense, thanks :-)
Why is "Business Leader" a category? What actual business leader has had any kind of long term effect on mankind? Gutenberg is the only one that comes to mind. Why are we acknowledging business leaders contributions when the biggest criticism of them as people is that they don't contribute?
Legit love the pirates covered as business leaders though.
also entertainers vs artists seems arbitrary
Id argue they don't need an effect - they are known, this is when they lived.
Does the vertical positioning of the lines mean anything? It's useful to see people who existed at the same time, but I wonder if there's a better way of grouping like people rather than colour and toss them anywhere.
Kinda sad to see that Donatello wasn't alive at the same time as the other ninja turtles.
First thing I noticed.
I saw Gollum as the poster and was expecting a timeline of middle earth characters.
Genghis Khan was a contempirary of St Francis of Assisi? And Thomas Acquinas came after Francis? Wild.
Higher res or gtfo
I see that it's a 4562 x 5090 (23.2MP) resolution png photo, it appears very readble to me. Is your client showing a downscaled version or do you really need higher?😅
I guess probably downscaled
Voyager on Android downscales it as well, it's original res when I open it in the browser.
Voyager does not downscale
Thanks for your explanation above
Thunder seems to keep the original image in preview :)
It's a problem with lemmy.world, likely due to running outdated lemmy 0.19.3 (looks great on lemm.ee, feddit.org, vger.social)
Not a client issue.
It is hi res - if you are using Boost for Lemmy when you open the image, look in the upper right hand corner and hit HD - that will load the HD version. It's just loading the smol version to be faster for you, you can adjust that in your settings I believe.
Voyager here, but thx.

Hey, cool. Thanks.
Thanks!
As a workaround I had been using open in browser when needed but I'm happy to learn about the HD button.
It is high res, what client do you use?
Ivan the Terrible is wrong by 2 centuries. The picture has him as 1754-1793, somehow after Peter the Great, but he actually lived 1530-1584. That's a really weird mistake
The didn't confuse Ivan the Terrible with Catherine the Great, because she lived 1729-1796 so those dates don't match either
Catherine the Great is included further down with correct dates, but only as "Royal" instead of "Tsar".
