Does pictrs cache just thumbnails or full size images from federated instances?

We've noticed an increased amount of storage being used for images, and many of them appear to be full-sized images. Is this documented anywhere?

I pulled this PR into the version of lemmy I run on my instance and it looks promising.
- It looks like that PR got closed because they are going to make it a configuration option.
  
  Haha yes, that configuration flag PR is mine
It generates full size images if I'm not mistaken. At least in my instance, that's the case. Using WEBP and setting resolution limits with pictrs helps reduce the storage costs but this applies to all of your images. It isn't consistent though. Sometimes it doesn't generate these images, sometimes it does.
- Thanks, will try to play with the resolution limits.
Looking through the cached files I've found at least one image file that's 694x694px, not exactly thumbnail size.
