Issue body

Having installed the app about half a year ago with around 20 manually added RSS feeds of various news sites, I launched the app today after not having used it for months, which triggered a massive mobile data runaway, draining 4 GB of mobile data in just 15 minutes. At first I didn't realize why I was getting excess data usage warnings from Android, but after opening the data usage page in Settings I realized the problem. Had to immediately shut off mobile data to stop it.

Was using version 2026.04.1204 from F-Droid.

As I uninstalled the app as a safety precaution I wasn't able to catch a catlog of the problem, but it obviously has something to do with a gigantic backlog being fetched, or something to that affect. As far as I know, I had all of the automatic/background fetching options turned off.

See the attached screenshot.
