Hey! Thanks for the answers!

That’s weird, because I currently have 4 ongoing drafts:

I understand this is a limitation of the mobile app (on my Android, it doesn’t allow me to start a new draft), but on the web it had been possible until yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with drafts of replies _vs_ drafts of new topics? All my 4 drafts are of replies, actually.

That’s interesting. But it would really be great if it were possible for a user to have multiple drafts; this way, you’d be able to build your posts without hurry.
