Is there any way to keep more than one app open at a time? (lemmy.today)

Whenever I go to my homescreen or otherwise load another app the previous one closes. If I'm browsing Lemmy and I open a page linked on a post to read it, my app will have reset itself when I close the tab and I either have to give up or root around for the post.

This OS is borderline unusable in this state. It even evicts my homescreen app so there's a 5-10 second lag when tapping the circle button.

Any tips? I have 8GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for a dozen apps.

That's interesting, and surprising. Graphene doesn't do anything special with battery optimization, does it (I didn't think it did)?

Have you asked on any Graphene chats (they use discord and telegram, right?).

I've used Greenify for 10+ years to manage hibernation, but it really only works well with root, and the Graphene folks aren't down with root... So the only thing I can think to look at is how battery optimization is configured per app (and the "don't keep activities" setting in Developer Options).

Edit: look in Developer Options for "Background Check", here you can select which apps can run in the background.

I'm running a Pixel with Lineage and battery optimization works fine. Graphene starts with AOSP like Lineage does, surely they aren't doing anything weird with battery optimizing?

Termux and Molly have battery optimizations disabled because they run critical services.
