I noticed that Scalable Vector Graphics are not supported.

SVGs are popularly used for vector graphics; so I think they should be supported.


EDIT: SVG Code can be directly posted, since Lemmy supports HTML tags in Markdown. (Why didn’t I think of that earlier? lol)

Its about priotities. What exactly would lemmy gain from implementing scalable graphics?

The ability to support a file format that is better suited for comics, flags, icons

But is lemmy really the place you go to consume web comics though? Wouldnt you just link to a site that is tailored to reading webcomics instead?

Yes; but I am also referring to flags and icons.

Some people also make vector art; because it is easier to work in vector graphics than bitmap; wikipedia has an example image illustrating this.

<svg> tags do seem to render though; so I could just use though.
