Would you be open to changing who hosts your servers?

Yeah I think Lemmy is still in the early stages and hope people are open to bending some rules. I have a photo os some Tawny Frogmouths that I might ask to post to Superbowl even though they're not owls.
Thanks, i just cross posted it there. I checked their rules and they do have some exceptions. I dont know whether the Water Dragons are considered lizards, and im not an expert but i have posted several images to birding after someone else suggested there too.
Someone mentioned this community after i posted in c/pics, Ive just checked the rules and apologies in advance if this breaks them. I'm not trying to stir trouble.
Ive downloaded imagemagick and used the convert program to make them smaller.
convert -quality 85 input.jpg output.jpg
should make it smaller, the 85 is a % factor which determines how much compression the algorithm uses. 100% is big files with high quality, the default is something like 92% .
convert -resize 1920x1080 -quality 85 input.jpg output.jpg
also adjusts the resulting image size.
For the image i used, it was 3840*2160 and 3.0 meg. When compressing with 50% quality, the file size was 850kb, when resizing down, it was 250kb,
How much each file size shrinks with % compression will likely depend on what the image is.
Thanks, i've updated the title.
There isn't a lot of detail in your question, I'm trying to get a better understanding of what your trying to do as there might be a better tool than ffmpeg to do this. I'm thinking that ImageMagick and it's convert tool could be the best tool for the job.
Is there a specific reason for ffmpeg to be the program to manipulate the files?
Is the compression factor the only thing you want to change?
I have a camera that takes 40003000 pixel images, I'd your looking to reduce the file size, would it be acceptable to also use less pixels? Converting to say 20001500 which would still look great on a full HD screen of 1920*1080 pixels.
I know it's the other side of the planet, but Australia has a Great Race our Supercars compete in every year in October. It's the Bathurst 1000 which is about 2 hours west of Sydney.
It's one of the tracks the Supercars race a which is a public road most of the year so you can drive a lap in a stock car (with 60kph limit).

Walk into a random cafe some time and find one of my photos is on their wall.
Lemmy.world is still running Lemmy 0.18.x and will soon upgrade to 0.19.x and 0.19 has scaled sorting.
Improved Post Ranking There is a new scaled sort which takes into account the number of active users in a community, and boosts posts from less-active communities to the top. Additionally there is a new controversial sort which brings posts and comments to the top that have similar amounts of upvotes and downvotes
World. Why? "Hello World".
I saw a few that walk. I took a step down to get the photo and was reluctant to step closer as it appeared to be getting its back up and looking for a fight. I wasn't going to press the issue as i just saw a baby water dragons close by.
