@Gargron if you tell anyone to try Mastodon, and they go to the Android Play Store, the client they get does not keep a pointer to the last read post. When you click the ribbon to get the new posts, it puts you on the most recent, and then you have to scroll down to try and find the last post you read. Really awful behavior for 2 years now. I guess real Mastodon users don't use the default one, or this would have been fixed a long time ago.
@RolandOfGilead Plenty of people read from top to bottom, me included.
