AVIF doesn't appear to be going away and there appears to be a gap in Android's current support for AVIF images.

It seems that AVIFs usage on the fediverse is increasing while Android only native supports AVIF images on Android 12 and up.

Even on these newer versions of Android, not all images are supported leading to some images failing to load every now and then.

The aim of this release is to bridge this gap by bringing better AVIF support to both old and new Android OSes. This release should allow even devices running Android 5 to view all AVIF images on Lemmy/Piefed. The cost is that the app will increase in size by ~2 MB.

Full changelog

  • Add experimental AVIF support (again)
  • Add setting to enable/disable the bundled AVIF decoder. Setting can be found under Misc > Use bundled avif decoder. Default: on.
  • Add setting to save images/videos in subfolders based on the community. Eg. an image from c/cats will be saved to Summit/cats. Default: off.
  • Fix an error that can occur when signing into a Piefed instance.

Update

  • Fix RedGif embeds on PieFed.
