Is there something about the way lemmy works that is causing Sync to chew up so much data? I never saw this kind of usage on Reddit.
By any chance are you watching an absurd amount of porn lol?

Not that far off from mine! Interestingly, my Sync used almost as much as Meet (which I use daily for video calls).
I suspect it's mainly multimedia data, like high-res images. Maybe Lemmy serves higher-res images compared to Reddit? I also recall seeing some discussion somewhere were Lemmy instance admins were turning off server-side image/thumbnail caching, so as a result you could be directly pulling the high-res images by simply scroll thru your feed? This is just a guess though.

I'm on about 18 gig since 1st of August and I watch a lot of porn, memes and gifs/vids. I'm also a lot on sync.
You even got me beat, here's the ๐, king!
Mine is under a Gig and I actively use sync to browse lemmy. Maybe, you have enabled preloading for videos, etc.
Interesting. Mine is around 50mb for the last month.
Deleted Sync due to massive battery usage. 20% avg vs 10 for jerboa.
My guess is ads.

I use it for hours a day, and I'm only at 347 MB total since install. But I only browse subscribed (and my subscriptions don't include memes).
2.70GB, this month for me
Lots of data use for me as well, but hardly any battery drain.

OMG! In what time frame is that? That's way too much.

It eats my battery but not my data
Sync is about as appealing as a dirty diaper on a beach in the sun on a hot day
