Previews not showing? SOLVED

EDITED: I hate deleting things because I think it can confuse people who saw it and now its gone but this was due to me stupidly checking the low bandwidth mode in settings.

So previously when I scroll a feed I can see images and placehoders for video where I can play them. Now all I get are icons that show what media type it is. Did something change around this? Anyone know if its intentional. I looked through my settings but did not see anything new about enable previews or such.

It could be compact mode.

Also PieFed detects if you’re using a device running on a battery and switches to a low power mode if so, which mostly means youtube videos are not loaded.

Ah yep if it’s the low bandwidth mode then the only way to get out of it is log out and then back in.

I added it in /user/settings at one point so that you don’t need to relog to turn low bandwidth mode on/off.
