Lemmy appears to use more data than Reddit, so I’m thinking that maybe the images I see while scrolling are full sized instead of smaller previews. Anyone can confirm?

    Yes. You can inspect elements on the feed page and see that it uses thumbnailed version of pictures.

    However, you mention data usage, which makes me think you’re talking about mobile usage, maybe through an app. The thumbnails are provided as alternative to the main image, which might not be supported everywhere.

      Yes, I was talking about apps. In my case it’s liftoff, so taking into account your comment I can assume information is available, but app must have to use it.
