Data Usage (lemmynsfw.com)

Is there something about the way lemmy works that is causing Sync to chew up so much data? I never saw this kind of usage on Reddit.

Not that far off from mine! Interestingly, my Sync used almost as much as Meet (which I use daily for video calls).

I suspect it's mainly multimedia data, like high-res images. Maybe Lemmy serves higher-res images compared to Reddit? I also recall seeing some discussion somewhere were Lemmy instance admins were turning off server-side image/thumbnail caching, so as a result you could be directly pulling the high-res images by simply scroll thru your feed? This is just a guess though.

Unrelated but TIL about TachiyomiJ2K.. really loving the j2k UX over the base...

Unrelated to the post, but how did you manage to rack up 32GB for tachiyomi? Do you just read a lot? I don't think I've ever cracked a gig.

Indeed, I read a lot. :) But in addition to manga, I also read a lot of manhua/manhwa, which take up a lot more bandwidth than manga since they're colored.

I think you meant to reply to @d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz

But I agree with you lol
