Hello,

I noticed a behavior that disrupts the reading experience when browsing lists. When new posts are synchronized while I'm scrolling through a list, the current reading position suddenly changes and the view jumps to another post.

To provide a smoother experience, the app should preserve the user's current scroll position until they choose to view the newly synchronized posts.

I suggest that after the initial synchronization, new posts should be fetched in the background without changing the current position. Instead of inserting them immediately into the list, they could be indicated by a discreet vertical indicator displayed at the top of the list. Tapping this indicator would then reveal the new posts.

This approach would eliminate unexpected jumps, improve reading comfort, and make navigating lists much more pleasant.
