Is there something about Mastodon and the Fediverse that you need help with?

Reply to me or send me a DM and I'll try to help if I can, or put you in touch with someone else who can help.

Don't worry if a question seems silly or obvious! The idea of this account is to especially help new people.

While I'm scrolling down my timeline, I sometimes pop into settings to, for example, update my filters to remove unwanted content. When I hit "Back to Mastodon" or hit the back arrow in my browser I end up right at the top of the timeline again. So annoying

I guess, that depends on the specific app you use... and yes, room for improvement... ;-)

Forgot to mention, this is on Windows 11 with the Firefox browser v118.0.1

This is a known problem, there is already a system in Mastodon for remembering timeline position, but for some reason the official Mastodon website interface doesn't use it.

If you're comfortable using github, you can give a thumbs up for this at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

GitHubThe web client should use the timeline marker API instead of resetting it · Issue #23677 · mastodon/mastodonBy NSExceptional
