    This is a setting by the admin of that Pixelfed instance. Try another instance, if you are unhappy with the quality.

      Well damn. I already copied my entire Instagram library there so I guess I’ll just deal with it.

        Also consider that Instagram uses aggressive image compression and then you import from that to Pixelfed, which also does its own compression. No wonder the quality is questionable.

        Have you tried adding an original image to Pixelfed?
