Upgraded media server (and what you should know)

I finally found time for this. Here are some changes:

Image, gif and video extensions will no longer be changed, they will remain as they are.
File quality will not be reduced, they will remain at max quality.
Added support for types such as APNG, JPEG-XL.
Animation types will not be converted to video.
The file size limit remains at 20mb. If I can somehow solve the donation issue, I would like to increase this limit in the future.

Thanks to @asonix for making the above and many more improvements.

Please let me know if you encounter any errors. I need to tweak the configurations a bit more I guess.

Does Lemmy not use thumbnails? I mean smaller size version of the actual image. I feel like everytime I try to look at new posts ("local" and "scaled" at lemmynsfw.com) it tries to load all full size images on the page. I assume I then get rate limited and lemmynsfw loads really slowly for a few minutes. This problem doesn't appear when looking at older posts that I have already viewed because the images are probably already cached.

This is definitely something that should be fixed.

This is a Lemmy problem and they’re improving it a lot. I’ll wait for the next update and then do something if it’s insufficient for us 👍
