    Alright, I have to finally ask. What the heck is a .webp file? And why are half the images on lemmy that type of file?

      it’s an image file format that’s a bit more space efficient with similar imagine quality.

        You rock, thank you. I just looked it up (which I should have done in the first place). Seems good.
        My problem is I can’t share the webp memes via text lol. Probably cuz I’m old now.

        Interesting. Thank you. So my main concern now would then be how do I get my sms to recognize it so I can continue trading memes?

          If your SMS app doesn’t support webp, there is nothing you can do about it. You could switch SMS apps or switch browsers or change your browser settings.
