Description

It would be appreciated if changing the theme would not refresh the feed, taking you back to the top (and potentially hiding read posts, if you have that enabled), and would not reset the Sort Post setting.

This will be more important once the app is made to follow the system theme.

Edit: Possibly related to #765

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the Android code that handles theme changes, feed refreshes, and the Sort Post setting, then reproduce the behavior with read-post hiding enabled. Done means changing the theme preserves the current feed position, visibility state, and selected sort order without refreshing the feed.
