I started using Summit a week or two ago, and I really like it. It’s a great Lemmy app. But I notice my phone’s battery life has taken a hit since then.

According to battery usage, I’ve been using Summit slightly more than the Reddit app, but Summit has consumed much more battery.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    IIRC I get around 2% or 3% battery usage per hour with Sync (for Lemmy) and Reddit. I’m going to try bouncing back and forth between the three for a comparison.

    I’m using a Pixel 8 Pro.

    I’ll send my settings.

      Thank you for sending me your settings. I’ve gotten a couple of performance/battery usage complaints recently. The one commonality I identified so far is “Mark post as read on scroll”. I’ve made some performance improvement changes related to this feature in the next release which will hopefully reduce battery usage.

        That’s awesome! Thanks!

        I’ll give it a shot when I get the upgrade and post here.

          The release is now live as v1.58.2. Please give it a try and let me know if the battery usage is better.
