The bug

Albums use jpeg thumbnails, which for some reason are ginormous compared to webp. There is no need to use a thumbnail with a resolution of 2161x1440 for albums.

Albums use the asset grid component now which uses webp thumbnails like the main timeline. Unless I am misunderstanding the issue this has been fixed now.

This isn't to do with the album view, but the actual album thumbnail itself.

Ok, might be good to update the issue to be more clear/specific in that case.

The album view loads webp initially and then lazy loads the higher jpegs afterwards, which I think is fine. They look better imo.

To make sure we're on the same page - this view, right? There is no need to use a 2k image for a 300px element.

High res ones are lazy loaded, which is fine imo.

I'm not so sure. It's not free to do this - it's additional bandwidth and has a performance impact on some platforms. We should really be displaying a more appropriate size like 300px for a 300px element rather than 2k, which is absurdly huge.

You can ask @alextran1502 if he wants to remove the code to load the jpegs. It is working as intended and designed regardless if you think it is correct or not. I don't have an opinion if we keep the high quality thumbnails or only use the webp ones for what it is worth. The whole thumbnail solution will probably need to be revamped in the future, but that is an entirely separate issue and discussion, and certainly not something best described as a bug. There is no action item to take here unless we decide to revert the code that loads the high resolution thumbnail. That was added before my time and I am unaware of the circumstances and thought process around why it was added.
