When transitioning from reading a post preview to opening the post and reading the main body, the place where you left off should be highlighted in some way.
I hate searching for where i left off in big bodies of text.
in a lemmy client i'm making i've been tempted to remember the position or maybe comment you left the post on and scroll to that spot when you return to it
could maybe even set a # parameter if it doesn't mess with the SPA router
these days it's kinda consistent but it will vary a lot based on device size, zoom, font rendering .. all sorts of things
browsers have different default behaviors when you go back to a page too that add to the complexity

I never thought about how annoying this is. Thanks, I hate it.
Why is this in showerthoughts and not in the community for whatever client this is?
Because it's a shower thought about reading things on small devices and not a feature request?
This is not a Lemmy or app-specific problem.
Guess i just discovered a secret useless superpower...

That's neat!
Do all phones display the same amount of text or is it based on device screen size?
