Hello, all. Does Boost has any option to save the position I’m currently in? It’s pretty annoying when I’m reading some post, need to switch apps and when come back to Boost it just goes all up to the top again.

In fact I know it’s possible because I’ve seen this feature in other Lemmy apps, so I imagined Boost already had and I was just missing some further configuration?

    That’s been a long time issue on Boost for Reddit as well. Boost doesn’t save its state properly when the activity gets closed, so you get a cold start. Some phones are bad and just kill it outright, but the good ones gives the app an opportunity to save its state.

    I usually see it after using multiple heavy apps after Boost, immediately after is a bit weird unless it’s a really low end device that just doesn’t have the RAM to keep any activities open in the background.

      Thanks for helping.

      My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A32. And now that I’m looking more closely to its behavior I noticed that it’s not only Boost that does that.

      Anyway, the funny part is that some apps (Sync for Lemmy being one of these) seems to never loose its state, no matter what I do.

        Those apps that don’t lose state probably persist their state so that they can resume from where they were.
