App That Saves My Spot? (links.dartboard.social)

I'm mostly loving Liftoff, especially the UI once I messed with some appearance settings, but one thing that bothers me is that whenever I switch to another app or press the Overview button on my Android, it'll reload back to my default view instead of going back to the post I was working with or reading.

When I used to use RIF, it was pretty good about saving what I was doing. I could switch between writing a post and Google searching to fact-check myself pretty seamlessly, for example. Or open a post, write a longer reply in another note-taking app, then switch back to the post in RIF and paste my comment. If I tried that in Liftoff, the app would reload and I'd find myself back at the top of the feed.

Does anyone know if there is an Android app that saves my spot better like that? Maybe my phone just sucks lol.

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.
