I’ve enjoyed using Connect but I’ve got no clue how it got this big.
Woah. 72 GB for me
Woah, what the heck. I just checked mine and im sitting on 27.5 gb of cache. My huband was sitting on 16gb.
If anyone is curious, my husband and I never manually cleared the cache for Connect. When we’re done using the app we both normally just press the phone home button, leaving Connect listed in the active apps drawer, and then clear it later on in the day (this is probably whats adding to the cache).
As annoying as it is to have 30gb of cache, I still wouldnt switch to a different app. The ability to block users, communities, and entire instances is just too good to give up.
Even with this I think it’s the best lemmy client I tried eternity for a while there and I’m now back on Connect.
Would be nice if there was a cache limit though I think 1 maybe 2 gb at most. Only other thing I miss is the biometric lock when opening I like that.
Yeah I had 7gb cache, not crazy huge like OP but would be nice to not have to do this manually

I’ve posted about it before, but I think the app should have a No-Thumbnail/No-Predownload option like RiF had. Most of the data it uses up I never make use of. It’s a big waste.
No thumbnail and pre download as an option while on data was awesome with RiF. I’m on a 2 GB data plan on my phone so every little bit counts.
I’ve never cleared mine and just checked it, 1.04gb. I use the app an embarrassing amount, so I wonder if there’s one specific thing that takes up a bunch of space.
20 GB here. I estimate it took 2-3 months to get there.
Yeah, mine was 1.09 and I don’t think I’ve cleared it ever either

How long have you been using it?
A little over a year now. I switched over to Lemmy when the API stuff was happening on Reddit, but was on a different app for the first month or two.
That’s still around 7-8 months of thumbnails if you haven’t cleared it out. It’s too bad there isn’t a limit setting in the app.
Or it’s something else. That is a lot.
Mines up to 20gb. Searched the settings the other day to set cache size but couldn’t find anything.
I just checked and my cache was over 5GB. I agree that cache wiping should occur once in a while. Oh well, doing it manually worked well enough.
Pretty sure all the content you’re reading and watching is what’s in there. Do you watch a lot of videos?
