I especially enjoy that it seems to be impossible to create symlinks on Android. I even had my phone partition formatted to ext4 once, so it would've definitely been technologically possible, but I found no way of actually doing it.

Usually don't have problems with this, but Fedilab app is one that just saves the files in some another dimensions or something
For images, it seems to be under ~/Pictures/Fedilab. Took me a moment to find that, too, though, and I don't know where it would save other files...
Well, if the files are stored in another dimension, at least they do not take space on your device, right?
Eh. Really?
Relevant username. 🙃
Fluffychat is guilty of that. Instead of saving to ~/Download or ~/Pictures, they go straight to ~/Android/Media/im.fluffychat (don't remember the exact nested dir name). And that means any recently downloaded images won't appear as "recent" in other apps to choose.
iOS is just as bad
