Feature request: While browsing posts, disable back button taking you to the Communities page (lemmy.world)

When browsing posts, it's far too easy to click the back navigation button on my device which currently takes me to the Communities page. The problem is, once you move away from the Posts page there doesn't seem to be any way of returning to your previous place in the Posts page.

This could be solved a couple of ways:

Disable the device's back navigation button from moving you away from the Posts page.
Have some method of remembering and returning your the previous place in the Posts page.

Regarding #2 - My assumption was the reload of the feed happened when you selected a new feed or community from the communities page.
If that’s an accurate assumption, adding a close button (and/or a forward swipe?) to the communities page would solve the issue fairly easily.

I mostly can avoid swiping back too far, but when I do, it’s infuriating to have to reload my feed.
