@Thomas thanks for the report!

Concerning the first point, there is an "autoload images" option in the Settings screen which globally enables loading of images (including user avatars and custom emojis) and videos in all screens.

As for the second point, does it happens everywhere or just in the Search screen?

However, I have to press the switch manually to show or hide media. I would like this to work automatically so that the media is loaded when I'm in Wi-Fi and not in mobile data.

The problem occurs when I click on a link that opens in the browser and then switch back to the app. This has nothing to do with the search. By search, I mean I have to scroll way down again to find the post I was at before.

@Thomas ok, now I get it. I can add an observer on the network state at least on Android (this is a multiplatform project and observing the network state in native code on iOS can be tricky) and see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion!

For the second problem, that is strange and I can not reproduce it but it looks like the lazy list state is not retained across lifecycle transitions (e.g. when the screen comes back to the resumed state). I'll have a look and investigate further, thanks.

I created a couple of issues on GitHub to better keep track of these reports... just another small question: does the "position loss" in a list happen only when opening the browser or even when you open another screen in the app, e.g. when opening a user profile if you tap on the post author's avatar?

@Thomas ok then it's the system terminating the process under the hood and recreating it silently (the app remains visible in recent tasks as if it was not dead but it is), e.g.if there are multiple applications opened and the system is hungry for resources.

Process "death" is tricky, I am waiting for this library to become compatible with the navigation library I'm currently using, because with SavedStateHandles it should be possible to handle state restoration across process recreation more easily.

@Thomas I would go for something like that: allowing users to choose whether they want images always loaded automatically (as-is), never loaded automatically (on demand) or when on WiFi networks.

Is this closer to what you expected?
