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.
My client (called Lemmynade) saves your scroll position, half-finished comments/posts, and more through exiting and even restarting your phone. The alpha release hasn’t dropped quite yet, but you can follow updates at [email protected] . I’m sure most other apps will improve this soon though, we are all working overtime in these early stages and it takes time to refine features and kill off bugs
Nice! I'll keep an eye out for its progress.

This is a constant issue for almost any client, sadly.
Same question here but for iOS in case anyone knows! Using wefwef atm
Jerboa and Summit both seem to do better.
Can confirm that Jerboa does seem to be a bit better at this at the moment. Thanks!
Not really that good though, it seems after a while
It's defintely possible, but I think ActivityPub makes it harder. I know that devs for Mastodon clients had issues with this and as far as I know only 2 Android apps support it as of yet. Tusky and Fedilab. Not sure if any Lemmy apps support it.
We don't interact with activity pub when making apps but with the api which is quite stable and very similar to any other app. The limitation is not activity pub. It's that it's hard and making apps is quite an effort, so devs will often prioritize other things.
Well when I join Mastadon, I'll definitely aim for one of those two apps then lol.
