Always display .jpg instead of .webp

Hi LJ!

Might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway... Would it be possible for the app to always show .jpg pictures instead of .webp? If I remeber correctly, if you upload a .jpg or .png file, Lemmy converts it to .webp. Can this be reversed in Sync?

Get with the times! Lol
- If you mean the times where you want to share a picture to other apps/services and they don't support .webp then I don't want to get with those.
  
  It’s the best compression. What do you think the hesitation is? (Screenshot plus a quick crop is probably your best bet until adoption).

Lossy conversion a 2nd time without a reason does in fact sound stupid
- I'd prefer if they weren't converted into .webp in the first place but that's out of my control. What I'm asking for is an OPTION you don't have to toggle. Also it's not without a reason.
  
  If it's already only available as WebP on the server, you have to convert it back.
