If you want to view all photos and art in their native format, you need to turn off a default setting in Mastodon's Appearance settings.

Make sure that you uncheck the box next to "Crop images in non-expanded posts to 16x9."

That way you'll be able to enjoy the photos and art on Mastodon without having to click on the image.
