Description
Redreader in older versions used to load cached posts which was super fast even on my older low end 2016/2019 smartphones. Unfortunately, some updates (around or before the apocalypse) it stopped doing that and now it connects to the network for new data which even on 5G and high speed wifi is slow especially when its doing that for every post.
Can you follow the old behaviour of loading cached comments based on post cache time, or add a toggle if you cannot for some reason? Sometimes, I have spotty connections even on wifi and having to wait seconds for comments to load which are already cached is annoying.

Research direction
Start by tracing how RedReader loads comments and how the refresh cached posts setting or post cache time is applied. Compare the current network-loading behavior with the requested cached-comment behavior, then verify that cached comments are used within the configured cache period and refreshed outside it.
