[Feature request] jump to top of list with 1 tap

On Apollo you could tap the area just below the FaceID sensor and it would zip you straight back to the top of whatever you were scrolling. This would be useful to have again!

Tapping the posts tab has a similar effect and can be super useful to navigate backwards in jumps - I’d love to see the standard tap at the top UX too though
Man, I can’t tell you how many times I hit this on accident and was frustrated.

I can live with it but I also won’t be shedding any tears without it.
- It’s one of those features that you get used to & then miss - but agree it’s not absolute top priority! :))
- In Apollo if you accidentally hit the status bar and went to the top of the feed, you could tap it again to go back to where you were. That was the ideal solution IMO
  
  Lol, perfect timing to learn that tidbit 🤪
I believe Alex (the dev) has said that this is a limitation of PWAs and therefore can’t be done. Probably, much like he doesn’t have control over the color of the status bar (see light mode status bar transparency issues), he likely doesn’t receive any info about taps in that area.

Using standard Lemmy as a fullscreen app shows the area pretty well - that black bar at the top is probably in OS control and not the web browser:

Edit: yeah, he explicitly says that in one of the GitHub requests :(
