Description

## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I load new posts, the current "newest post" often vanishes beyond the bottom of the window. It would be nice to be able to have some visual queue that *right here* is where you can stop reading because you've already seen these posts.

## Describe the solution you'd like
Some kind of visual queue that this is where the old "newest post" is, and you've already seen everything under it.

## Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to load new posts *above* the view, keeping the existing posts exactly where they are in the view. There could still be a "go all the way to the top" button or whatever. This way, I don't lose my reading position. Even in this case, some indication of where the newer posts start would be nice.

Research direction
