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:

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

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?
