Quick note: If you follow me, you probably noticed that I post occasional photos. Unfortunately, the default display behavior on most Mastodon instances and clients crops many images unless you click on them. I hate this, as does every other photographer here, but it's not likely to change any time soon.

You can disable this broken behavior in the Mastodon web interface by unchecking a box under display preferences.

But in any case, please be aware you might not be seeing the whole photo.

@mattblaze screenshots like this could potentially be the reason
@navarr No one is saying that's how very long images should be previewed. There can be a max height and max width, with the image scale down. The point is to scale it down rather than crop.
