When reading longposts I often lose my place by either a) accidentally tapping the Feeds button in the corner of the screen with the heel of my palm, which scrolls to the top, or b) accidentally tapping the article body (either while actively scrolling or just holding my phone), which collapses the post.
Anyone have advice for avoiding these on longposts? Skill issue?

Apollo's solution to this was to allow swiping left from the right edge to go "forward" to the page that was just closed. We've got an issue open for this feature here, but unfortunately this feature is rather tricky to implement so it's unlikely to be added anytime soon.

We'll add a setting to disable collapsibility of post content in this week's TestFlight (issue here) ๐
For me I think I would still want the ability to collapse a post (via somewhat-rarely-used control/widget, under the hamburger etc) but disable the behavior of collapsing it when tapping inside it.
I would love this toggle! The number of times I have accidentally collapsed a post is embarrassingly high. More often Iโm trying to tap a button in or around the post and miss slightly.

FAQ
When will insert feature here be implemented?
Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.

This feature is now available on the TestFlight :)
Awesome, thank you!
Sure, we can implement that ๐
