Description

A reviewer suggested to have a setting to not load any images when reading a thread. I assume it has something to do with saving mobile data volumne. It's not hard to implement but it's a Sisyphean task. Many places have to be considered. Plus, there should still be a way to view an image if one really wants to. How to achieve this from a UI perspective I don't know. Maybe in the MORE menu?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all places where images are loaded in the app (e.g., in adapters, views) and add a conditional check based on a setting. Consider providing a per image option to load if needed, perhaps via a long press or context menu.
