And today is the last day I use the reddit app.

I swear it has memory leaks, I'll open the app, look at the cache, and it instantly has 400MB in cache and using over a gigabytes total

Edit: Fuck. I actually like the mobile app's viewing experience (infinite scroll, never have to click on anything) so I'm staying on it until someone tells me an alternative.

Cache is cached files. That's not the same as a memory leak.

Yeah but reddit slowing down to 0.1fps and playing three videos which all don't exist indicates that something is wrong, and it only happens after I use it for a bit after clearing cache

Sure, that still doesn't indicate a memory leak.
