@mike Ivory’s method is ideal. Open the app, you’re still at the same post you saw the last time. If you happen to want to go to the top it’s only one tap at the top of the screen to get there. But even better, if going to the top was an accidental touch you can just tap the top again and it takes you back to where you were. It’s totally on the side of the user. Bluesky’s behavior, not to pick on them in particular as almost all apps do this to be fair, always taking you to “now” is really pretty user-hostile in an otherwise pretty good app.
