It’s a common issue for me, connected to some other common issues. I lose my place multiple times a day, lose entire drafts when the app decides to blank itself out and reload the feed on its own, and still have the problem of accidentally going to the communities list and then losing my place in the feed when it forces a refresh. And yeah, good luck finding your drafts, I never can.
I’ve liked this app for the most part, and have been using it since I came over from reddit years ago, but frankly I feel like it has not improved over time, and has in fact gotten noticeably buggy and counterintuitive as it has matured. Might be time for me (and you) to try out some others, I’ve been off the market for Lemmy apps for so long that I have no idea how the other apps have progressed.
Edit: I’m on iOS, iPhone 16 Pro, no shortage of memory as far as I know.
