Question about storage (lemmy.world)

I have tried using summit and noticed that the amount of data the app stores is high.

Currently, the app stores around 1.5 GB of data and cache on the phone.

Comparing to an app like voyager, voyager hardly crosses the 100 MB.

I have two questions:

  1. Is there a reason why summit stores such amount of data and can it be controlled within the app?
  2. Will the data stored by summit keep creeping up or does it reach a certain level and stop from increasing?

Thanks

Just wanted to follow up here. Did the current update of the app (v1.55.5) fix this issue?

Been testing the latest version of summit.

I can confirm that the cache gets trimmed and is lowered after a span of 24 hours.

Thanks for your help.
