Toolbar buttons should scroll to top on second tap

For UI consistency, tapping the Feed button after you’re already in the Feed View should scroll to the top of the feed. That’s what similar apps do (like tapping the News button in Apple News).

If you’re worried about accidental taps, pressing it a second time should take you back to where you were in the feed.

The other toolbar buttons should work similarly. If you’re in the Inbox and you tap a comment, tapping Inbox should take you back to the main inbox. Tapping Inbox when you’re already in the inbox should scroll to the top of the Inbox (if you’re not there already).

  • I don't remember who wrote this, but a while ago some team member stated in this sub they had ~merged a PR~ a PR in the works that implements the described behavior. Perhaps there are other issues that emerged from this?

    Edit: Clarification based on reply

    • Yea! There’s a draft PR that I left sitting around waiting for some 0.19 lemmy changes and also because the feature was triggering some undesirable performance issues not related to the tab bar itself.

      Tbh it’s gotten faster just by building against iOS 17, I’m probably going to finish it up and merge it in since so many of us want this 🙈

      • No worries, thanks for taking care of this and the explanation! :-) I certainly did not intend to complain in any way since I didn't even have time to look into the GitHub PRs myself
