High Data Usage (self.lemmyconnect)

I have noticed that this app uses quite a lot of my data, possibly because it's downloading all the images in the background.

It would be nice to have a setting to control whether images should be preloaded (with options like wifi only, always and never)

Same here. I was on jerboa until it stopped working yesterday and I switched over. I just checked and I'm at 9.5 gigs after only a few hours of use.

Samesies, phone gave me high data usage warning yesterday for the fist time in forever, because connect in a day used up what rif used in a month.

This needs to be top of the list to fix or limit, otherwise a lot of people can't use the app when away from home (myself included!)

It seems like maybe it doesn't cache images? I when I go into a post and then back out, it seems to be loading all the thumbnails again.
