I’ve been using the app on breaks at work at nearly half the rate I had been using RIF. Here we see that it still used about 2x the data in roughly the same time period.

The app’s great. The bugs are getting hammered out and Lemmy’s great too. Can you look into doing some optimising soon?

Edit: To be more specific. RIF used just over 1gig over 10 days of browsing during breaks. Most months hit about 2-2.5 gigs. While connect used 2gigs in 6 days.

    I’ve added an option under settings (as of 1.0.81) to turn off Image Preloading which should help a bit. Part of the problem is that the files Lemmy serves as a ‘thumbnail url’ are actually the full sized image and the only resize option available to developers is specifying a thumbnail resize value which resizes it with raw pixel sampling so it can look pretty pixelated.
