App That Saves My Spot? (links.dartboard.social)

I'm mostly loving Liftoff, especially the UI once I messed with some appearance settings, but one thing that bothers me is that whenever I switch to another app or press the Overview button on my Android, it'll reload back to my default view instead of going back to the post I was working with or reading.

When I used to use RIF, it was pretty good about saving what I was doing. I could switch between writing a post and Google searching to fact-check myself pretty seamlessly, for example. Or open a post, write a longer reply in another note-taking app, then switch back to the post in RIF and paste my comment. If I tried that in Liftoff, the app would reload and I'd find myself back at the top of the feed.

Does anyone know if there is an Android app that saves my spot better like that? Maybe my phone just sucks lol.

Both liftoff and connect do it for me as long as there's not a big delay or *multiple z other apps.

I think this is an android thing rather than an app thing though. It's about how apps are being managed in the background. I know that on my old tablet, reddit apps would close fully when switching apps to share something or whatever, but they didn't on my newer devices. Games are hit-or-miss on all of them. That's what points to it being os based rather than the apps.

RiF didn't have this problem for me for the last 10 years across probably 15 phones. Connect and Jerboa both have the problem on the same phone/OS I was using RiF on with no issue. That's what points to it being app based rather than the OS.
