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.

If you're using Firefox, you can use the Image Block extension.

I'm usually on android but thanks, good suggestion!

Ah, in that case I'd recommend using Sync for Lemmy. Sync has options to turn off emdedded images, as well as several data saving features (such as disabling preloading etc).
