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.

    I mostly scroll all so don’t know how being on NSFW would matter.

      Because when it’s NSFW it’s probably an image or video which uses more bandwidth than text does, so if you’re scrolling all those images and previews need to be downloaded and if it’s prefetching more than just a thumbnail while you scroll you can end up with a lot of data transfer.
