Basically, when the app crashes while commenting, it recovers the text you had written out.. but then dumps you back to the main feed with that just in your clipboard, waiting for you to comment on the next post and go “oh yeah, crap” because you can’t find the post and go back to browsing.

When hide read posts is functioning as intended (which it hasn’t been for a while and may be related to version..? Idk how it works, and that’s not the point of this anyway), you shouldn’t even be able to find the post you would have replied to, and unless it’s from a community you follow, you’ll never find it again.

Maybe this is too much to ask; I’m not a programmer so I don’t know what I’m asking, but it would be super great when the app crashes to not only preserve the text, but maybe provide a link back to the post it was being made under (not necessarily the exact comment, but the parent post would help a ton). I’ve just sort of given up on long comments I spent a lot of time formatting because the app crashed and I couldn’t find the post I was replying to. And that’s really frustrating.

Honestly, and I appreciate your feedback, I can’t imagine that’s actually my problem since I don’t have a life, but am super into protecting my personal security. I have 2 browsers running at most, plus voyager. Typically no other apps. And it crashes mostly while I’m actively writing stuff. Not on swapping. That’s why it’s so frustrating.

But like even if that weren’t the case, it would still be super frustrating even if some other related app had a similar problem in the past..? Like I’m asking it be done if possible. I know it’s a big ask.
