Hi! You may not be aware of this but Lemmy doesn’t downscale images for you, you have to do it yourself. Right now, everyone who visits this community is downloading a 3.5MB 4K photo. This goes for photos you post, too, so mobile users with limited data might not be particularly happy with you.

I’m not from Manchester but I’m not a million miles away, happy to chip in when I can. :)

    Hey! Good point, thanks! To be honest I don’t really like the picture and was on my phone when I realised it didn’t have one so just uploaded a relevant photo without thinking about the implication! I’ve scaled it down now.

    Also, welcome!
