This is a setting by the admin of that Pixelfed instance. Try another instance, if you are unhappy with the quality.

Since storage costs money, does it allow the admin to offer tiered access to higher quality storage?

[-] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 months ago

Not natively in Pixelfed.

Well damn. I already copied my entire Instagram library there so I guess I'll just deal with it.

Also consider that Instagram uses aggressive image compression and then you import from that to Pixelfed, which also does its own compression. No wonder the quality is questionable.

Have you tried adding an original image to Pixelfed?

No I mean the new pictures I've uploaded there since too.
