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:

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

Thanks

1.5 GB is quite a lot, on mine it uses a third of that.

Have you tried adjusting the cache policy in the app settings? Settings -> Cache -> Cache Policy.
