Aggressive memory management since Upgrade to A16 (LOS 23.2) (piefed.social)

I recently upgraded my Moto G42 to lineageOS 23.2 after staying on 22 for way too long. Everything is fine but it seems memory management is totally out of control. As soon as I switch to another app, the background process gets killed.

If I would now switch to my browser for 5 seconds to copy some stuff, voyager would have been killed. This is an extremely unpleasant behavior. Does anybody knows a fix for this?
