Not sure if this is the best place to post this. But it looks like Beehaw isn’t resizing user avatars.
I don’t want to point out specific examples, because i’m not trying to call out any individual user here, but the home page currently has multiple cases of user avatars that are multiple megabytes in size.
As far as i can tell, they should be atomatically resized to 96x96 pixels, and on other lemmy instances they are, but here they are being served full size, that includes posts and comments by beehaw users to other instances.
Figured I should say something since I noticed it, bandwidth isn’t free, and 10s of MBs just for user avatars is a lot for someone on a slow connection.
I’ve noticed that as well when browsing on my phone, I zoomed in onto a comment and noticed the avatar wasn’t blurry. I could zoom onto it more and more until it filled my screen and it still looked fine. Not great for user bandwidth as you say, and for the site servers either.
