I have an issue where clicking an image link shows a black screen, but long-pressing correctly displays the image (until I let go, anyway)

It is. It’s the “local” view.

The data doesn’t need to be pulled through the “home” (logged-in) instance.

Latest release makes them go away and stay away

I use it for hours a day, and I’m only at 347 MB total since install. But I only browse subscribed (and my subscriptions don’t include memes).

Needful, done!

Twelve of those are mine, due partly to the very shortcomings being discussed here.
