   That was only happening for a couple of days around Aug 6 when I posted the complaint. It hasn't been doing that lately.

   What it does still do is this: when at the top of my feed (in slow mode) I click to see the new posts, it drops me at some random point between where I was (the topmost toot visible pre-click) and the newest toot post-click (i.e. somewhere in the middle of the newly-visible toots).

   I'd rather it left me at the last toot I already read, with new ones above.

     The behavior on mastodon.social (using Firefox on Linux) changed yesterday and is still broken today. After drilling down into a post, when I return "Back" to my "Home" display it does not return me to where I was -- usually it goes to the very top (most recent posts) of the feed.

     This despite me being in "slow mode" (it does still show me the "n new items" prompt at the top).

     This is annoying because I have to then scroll down trying to find where I was.

     Why is this happening?

     You would have to ask your server admin.

     However, mastodon.social is way too overcrowded so you may have difficulty getting hold of an admin.

     Also, mastodon.social is often used as a testing place for new features so this may be something broken that they are trying out.

     Yeah, I realised that when I looked at the date, sorry about that! 😁

     Does it do this when you have slow mode on?

     Yes, slow mode is how I run, to avoid the earlier problem of it moving my location when coming "Back" from drilling down into a post.

     Slow mode being on is why I have to click to see the new posts.

     Oh sorry, you even said it was slow mode in your post! Apologies. (I have been rushing between threads, I should read more carefully!)

     This seems to have been brought up in an issue on the Mastodon github:

     https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21528

     If you're comfortable using github, you could give a thumbs up and/or post about your experiences in the thread? (I've just given it a thumbs up by the way.)
