Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Images look blurry in the timeline, in x(twitter) they look sharper.

Describe the solution you'd like

Additional context

Here is a comparison of the images.

Bluesky - Timeline bluesky-timeline

X(Twitter) - Timeline x-twitter-timeline

BlueSky - Closeup bluesky-closeup X(Twiiter) - Closeup x-twitter-closeup

It works fine when you open the images.

Bluesky - Image open bluesky-open

X(Twitter) - Image open x-twiiter-open

When you are using both apps. It really bothers me that images in bluesky are blurrier.

Context: This happens in my Tablet: Samsung s7 FE - Android 14 - BlueSky 1.91.1 Even when this is more noticeable in a tablet, it also happens in desktop.

Poor quality is noticeable, but I think even worse issue is how bsky scales everything to 2000px widest edge, including smaller images. Upscaling pixel art and low res art looks horrendous and it also takes more storage space on Bsky servers.
