Hi everyone!

I would love for this app to automatically download the latest posts from my subscribed communities when I have WiFi. Every post I have somehow interacted with (liked, commented on, saved etc.) should always be stored locally and accessible offline, but continuously updated to contain all the latest comments and likes every time I have WiFi, and remain stored locally until manually removed.

Of course my own interactions with the locally stored posts and comments will also have to be saved locally until a WiFi connection is established, at which point they would be uploaded to Lemmy for other users to see.

This would also decrease loading times, making the app feel much faster, since it now only has to fetch new or modified data instead of getting ALL of the data over and over again every time a user opens the app.

Every post that the user haven’t interacted with should of course only be stored locally if it isn’t older than X amount of weeks. X should be a variable determined by the user. Once such a post is older than X, it should be automatically removed from the local storage to save space.

Can we please make this happen! This is how to truly make this app feel snappy while simultaneously making Lemmy interactions more reliable and even accessible offline. No more waiting for data fetch when the app is first being opened and no more empty feeds if you are offline. It would definitely be a life changer for all Lemmy users.
