   If you're finding Mastodon's interface is too dark or too light, you can change its colour scheme to someting that suits your eyes better.

   On the website:
   1. Click ⚙️ Preferences
   2. From the "Site Theme" menu choose Dark, Light or High Contrast
   3. Click "Save Changes" at the top right

   On the official app:
   1. Click the ⚙️ icon to go to settings
   2. Choose Dark, Light or Automatic (which uses whatever your phone uses)

   On third party apps:
   Go to the settings section of your app.

     This is a known problem.

     It's a slightly odd situation, Mastodon's software does actually record the timeline position and could remember it, but for some reason the official web interface doesn't (in fact it resets it!).

     In theory third party apps can use this position too, you might find more luck trying them?

     If you're comfortable using github you can vote for this to be fixed by giving a thumbs up at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/19036 and https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23677

     @feditips Is there a way to get Mastodon to open at the exact spot you left off? Invariably, I open much farther up in the feed and have to scroll back down. I also get the dreaded’Load missing posts’ message with the same results if I click it.

     Mstdn.ca does have other colour schemes, but they work slightly differently as it runs a special version of Mastodon called Glitch Mastodon.

     To change the theme on Glitch servers like yours:

     1. Click ⚙️ Preferences
     2. Click Flavours (at left of screen)
     3. Choose Vanilla Mastodon or Glitch Edition depending on whether you want Glitch's extra features
     4. Choose "skin" at bottom of screen
     5. Click "use this" below that

     @feditips Changing interface brightness is not an option on the mstdn.ca website, unfortunately. This has me considering switching to mstdn.social.
