Where Does Thunder for Lemmy Store Data?
Thunder for Lemmy keeps instances, accounts, and read state in private app storage on Android, with settings export for moves.
Last updated
Thunder stores Lemmy instances, logins, theme choices, and cached posts in its private Android container. Votes and comments live on the instances themselves.
Export is the migration path: settings files carry instances and preferences between installs. Like most feed readers, cache is the expendable part and accounts are the part worth protecting. Saved posts sync per account, not per device, so nothing vital hides locally.
