yes it helps, it stops auto downloading pictures and videos and a few other things.

I’ve always said the relay data thing is a red herring, most media is unoptimized, some people have 50mb profile pictures for example. This is where all the real data usage is coming from I suspect.
nostr:npub1jdyaqyngdj4tgmmtlm7j7npkr3fwzjcumcwdqf68dc9wd5lf39rqwlfwsu ‘s profile pic doesnt show up on nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 its 4.5mb
Limiting that or forcing an image proxy for large images in low data mode is smart!
Atproto has a limit of 1MB for all images (and the size is 2000x2000).
interesting 🧐
Mastodon has a bit larger limits:
I think this may be because the pic is on http not https, not because of the size
you can also save more data by using just 1 relay (read/write) while not on wifi with nostr:npub1x3azxuysp5vmfer4vgs4jn5tmfcx4ew8sh0qnev7gczljxsr7jwqa3g4el 's bostr relay
