It’s that time again Lemmings.
Don’t forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.
For those who don’t know how, Android instructions are below
- Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
- Select Storage and Cache
- Press Clear Cache
Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

NINE GIGS??!!
What a dogshit implementation - this is egregious enough that the app should be pulled/banned until this is patched.
Oh calm down. Its still in development. If one minor issue like manual cache clearing is such a big deal, open an issue on the github page or just fork it and fix it yourself. It’s a FOSS app still in active development, the unfortunate cost of living on the cutting edge is that sometimes you get shoved face first through a tomato.
My background is as a product manager for a digital platform, not a developer. I’m not the guy to fix this issue, but I’m pretty comfy it’s a meaningful issue.
While I applaud the FOSS effort (I wasn’t aware), I’m not going to sit on the sidelines clapping as people’s faces are shoved through tomatoes. If this is worthy of a regular reminder at risk of filling your phone, it warrants an urgent fix that appears to be taking time.
Here’s hoping it gets fixed quickly though.
Mate, the official Reddit App used to do the same shit until i think 2019, calm down. Cache clearing is really not that big of a deal
So long as you know to do it as your phone’s storage is gobbled up at an alarming rate.
Most of us are here because we think reddit is shit - that’s not your best point.
If you want manual cache clearing to be gone, you can always do a pull request on the repo, the app is still in beta, it is not in fact officially finished. Don’t expect a work in progress to be a completed product
Why? If someone knows the issue, they can choose they want to use the app anyway, or delete it. If the app is pulled, they don’t really have that option.
This is true (though they’d need to v know about the issue and how to fix it). I just hope the app cache is cleared when they uninstall it (though it’d be an OS issue if it didn’t.
