I just ran on #mastodon into the fact that #webP has issues to be uploaded.
There was a general problem giving 500 errors that apparently was fixed recently, even tho not all servers have updated this problem.

Actually I wanted to upload animated webP and that still doesn't work. The software extracts the first pic and serves it as webP.
So I tried to publish via #friendica into the fediverse the animated webP but at least the squeet.me friendica version (2023.09-dev) extracts the first pic and serves it as jpg image. 2021.01 and 2019.12 doesn't accept webP at all.
I guess this is known?
Any changes on this to expect?
I'm kinda astonished as I created the webP with GIMP and can display it in firefox, all free source software and animated webP is definitely higher quality than gif and way smaler size.

•We also create resized versions of all uploaded images to add as a preview in posts, but the original should still be shown when clicking on the preview.
WebP support isn’t put of reach as we are able to display Mastodon-generated WebP clips from remote accounts.
