Description

I read a lot of long posts, which sometimes gets interrupted by something else. When I return to the post (either because I have saved it or just by reopening the app after it was in the background for a while) the scroll position has been reset to the top of the post. Would be neat if it just put me back where I was, even if the post was edited or sth
