I find it very weird that Lemmy support gifs but does not support svg format, is there is a specific reason for that?

    Most vector rendering libraries have options to disable all the fancy stuff like Javascript and external links. If you manage to find one that supports it in the first place. As for resource usage, the server sends image files without decoding, so whatever forkbomb you will manage to include into your SVG will only crash Lemmy clients, so, ‘not our problem’. Maybe it will become a problem for the server when generating thumbnail image.
