I could add something like this. However, for most power users that are scrolling that far to encounter this issue, I recommend using the "hide read posts" feature. This will essentially keep your spot in the feed until reset. It also allows you to pull to refresh, keeping your place (essentially) while also being able to see new posts that percolate up your feed.
This also helps with other things - if you restart the app and/or device you won't lose your place until you reset hidden posts.
I might be able to add a long press the hide button to reset hidden posts for those that just want hiding posts to be super temporary. Would that help?
Ad a rando coming across this, yes please.
I'm trying out those settings you suggested and it does seem like it would mostly solve the issue for me, but you can see from the volume of comments that I am not alone in being unaware of the magic combination of settings that would make the default behavior of the app less frustrating.
I think it's still a good idea to either prevent the back button from taking the user from their Posts page to the Communities page, or to include a method of returning to the last spot in the Posts page.
