a mobile app that doesn't annihilate battery with ridiculously excessive cpu use and keepalive requests

Speaking of which, how on Earth it's such a slug these days? I pretty much quit Reddit when the protest started and moved to Lemmy. I never used any other Android app since I was reasonably happy with the official app. However, when I launched it to check how my old subs fared, I was quite surprised at how slow, laggy and bloated POS it had come.

I honestly don't remember it being this crappy just a few weeks ago.
