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.

Note that this setting may or may not change whether images are cropped on mobile clients - it depends on the particular client.
Every time I post about the stupid image cropping 3/4 of the replies thank me for pointing it out and 1/4 tell me to stop whining.
@mattblaze @mastodonmigration that’s a decent ratio. It’d be at least reversed on birdsite me thinks
