Very very frustrating and keeps happening to every time I use the app. I type full paragraphs that disaapear if I look away from the screen 10 seconds and it dims black (did not even lock phone or exit app). It haapened this time while I was reading the comment I typed before posting it. I cannot stress how awful that is and it was gone, no draft and not saved anywhere.
Please fix.

I don't have anything like that and I have drafts set to off. Do your apps get unloaded from memory when you switch to something else? And what version do you use, did you encounter this with previous releases?

I have the latest update and this issue still happens. Where can I see my comment drafts? or upvoted , downvoted, or visted posts?

Drafts (Connect's feature) are saved as long as you don't leave a thread.

Individual upvotes and downvotes aren't shown on Lemmy as a whole. I only know you can see them under posts and comments on kbin.social (another network), but I don't know if they have them collected somewhere on a profile page. Guess it puts more strain on servers hosted by volonteurs.

Visited posts are tracked cleint-side. Afaik it isn't implemented anywhere.

Saved posts work tho.

I wish Connect at least shows the drafts I have if that's the case. Also visited posts since it hides them and it becomes impossible for me to find again. Both of these are saved temporarily until cache is cleared or app is closed. currently it's just so frustrating

Right sidebar —> Settings —> Hide read posts switch.

See if it's your case.

If I'm to think long about some answers, I put them in a different notes app and save post\comment, or just add edits to the end of my comments after posting it.
