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.

    I think it might just be a bug or weird optimization issues.

    And I’m pretty sure OP has that much data use because they’re on lemmynsfw. Not only are they consuming a lot of media content, lemmynsfw admins have been turning off caching for images so he’s fetching the linked media every time. I only have 1.06GB used since August 2

      If the cache contains the same image as the link, then how does that factor into the equation? Caches don’t magically save bandwidth.
