Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Is there any way to disable thumbnail downloads on mobile data?

That feature doesn't exist yet.

But there are some considerations to be made in implementing this.

Like the images that shouldn't load, do we hide them, do show a black shade or placeholder. If so which placeholder because i doubt that you want to see Jerboa icons everywhere instead. If we hide them there there is no difference between postviewmode largecard shortcard so do we keep showing both? Someplaces it's probably better to hide them like the avatar.

This will most likely be part of a much bigger "data saving" feature where you can enable loading images(previews/comments/avatars/banners) on WiFi only/all/never.

And it be pretty cool if you could granular select which images you do and don't want to load. But there is no UI for that yet. So that will have to be designed too.
