That’s probably not a completely fair comparison because Android apps include a lot more media. And removing dead code from libraries is kind of complicated, while Rust does that by default.
Theres gonna be some bandwidth usage for images, but unless you have a huge instance, it will be effectively zero. I wouldnt even care about that because you’re not gonna run into any limits with your vps if you get something reasonably cheap.

Lemmy has barely any resource usage, the server is extremely efficient thanks to Rust. Deployment is also pretty easy with Ansible + Docker.
I’m pretty sure the compiled binary is smaller than many (maybe even most) Android apps. Mad props!

Fair enough. Still, the fact that a complicated web app can fit in a single executable is pretty impressive.
I assume bandwidth usage will increase with Federation and also larger requests for data would be more frequent?
