How to keep Voyager from closing? (sh.itjust.works)

I just popped out to grab an image for a post, then realized I didn't have a photo app, then went to the play store to download Ente, then decided I should just download an image directly.... by the time I got back, Voyager had been closed and the draft was (apparently?) lost.

Any idea of how to prevent this from happening in the future?

And where is the draft supposedly saved?

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.

I spent an hour composing a post today; 20 minutes in I remembered what happened yesterday and finished it inside a text editor.

It may partially be an OS issue, but I couldn't find my draft in Voyager, which is a Voyager problem.

Also have to say I'm pretty disappointed in this community. It's great at describing how Voyager works, but most any suggestions for Voyager is met with cold indifference at best.

100% agree. My only two full posts, on this account and my previous instance accounts combined, were to this community about issues that seemed to me to be easily fixable, and lots of people chimed in to agree, but nope, indifference.

Voyager troubleshooting steps:

Have you tried a different app?
Have you tried programming your own app?
