Feature request: While browsing posts, disable back button taking you to the Communities page (lemmy.world)

When browsing posts, it's far too easy to click the back navigation button on my device which currently takes me to the Communities page. The problem is, once you move away from the Posts page there doesn't seem to be any way of returning to your previous place in the Posts page.

This could be solved a couple of ways:

Disable the device's back navigation button from moving you away from the Posts page.
Have some method of remembering and returning your the previous place in the Posts page.

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.
