Going back from a post has been broken on Lemmy since forever. Not always but most of the time when I am scrolling through Lemmy and click on a post on (for example) page 3, the list will go back to page 1 after I go back to it and will only show my actual former position after refreshing the page. It’s been one of my main reasons why I mostly use it only with apps on my phone.

Oh ok then. Its not really that big of an issue, just mildly annoying. I just open posts in new tab
You mean these?
Yes.
Are you pressing back from a remote site, or back from say, the comments section?
Comments page, when im going back from 3rd party site it looks fine.
That's really weird, going back from the comments is working fine with me. I'm on firefox myself.
Another option is to try a different frontend like https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com and see if it works better?
Works fine on other frontends. Sadly they all have the annoying feature of hiding some nested comments. Since its working for you Ill try figuring out whats wrong on my end. Thx EDIT: Same thing happening in chromium without any addons :/
edit2: happens only on "subscribed" feed
Something is definitely broken, when i press the Next button on feed 3 AJAX request are made:
1 that gets trending communities and 2 that fetch posts
when i press the back button(from a post the feed) only 1 is made, the first one in the image which gets the trending communities.
looks like not all queries are stored in cache, maybe theres the issue?
I honestly don't know. I haven't coded the UI part. I have close to 0 knowledge about the lemmy UI inner working
