Higher image quality on cards view for large devices? (lemmy.world)

Hi! I've been using Boost on my Android phone for years now, back to when it was for Reddit too. It's perfect. I used Voyager on my iPad but now that I switched to a large Android tablet I'm facing an issue with the poor quality in the cards feed when in portrait mode. I'm aware of the split view on landscape mode but I'd rather use it in portrait.

I have enabled the HQ image download in the settings but, as implied, it only affects the images once you tap on them to enlarge. I understand that loading full size images in the feed is not an option since some are up to 5 MB or more, but maybe an option in settings for slightly larger or better quality images? Or maybe a new card type that doesn't go full width, similar to how Voyager does?

I don't even see why 5 MB images would be a problem either for lots of us. I usually browse on my home Wi-Fi and have unlimited data outside that anyway.
