Is there any way to turn off automatically loading embedded images in comments? (self.support)

I find they make it harder to read and as I'm under data restrictions it would be nice to not load them.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I know the lemmy software has a lot of limitations too so maybe this is one of them.

It's nice & light in itself & though it is mostly used to reduce tracking across the internet, it could work well for reducing data generally.

If you are using an Android phone, uBlock Origin as wn extension to Firefox could also be of interest to you (can block images over a size you set, and allows fine-tuned exceptions per site).
