If I'm on a feed, say All, then I accidentally open the communities side bar, I cannot for the life of me work out how to close it without having to choose a feed or community, triggering a refresh.

This is worse when I'm on a post. I am here reading the comments in a post and accidentally open the communities side menu, how do I close it and stay on the post? I have almost no chance of finding that same post again 🙁

In my case it's not the glitch I've heard users mention where it opens randomly. Personally I just swipe to communities or open it accidentally and then can't resume scrolling where I left off. It's an inconvenience.

I added a setting (on by default) that will pop up an alert to confirm going back to communities list. You can try it on the beta release, let me know if you try it out, what you think!

I'm on Beta and I see the feature. Worked when I was scrolling the feed. I clicked back, and it asked if I'm sure I want to exit the feed. Perfect, I can resume doom scrolling.

That won't stop me from opening the communities left side bar on purpose, then realizing I can't go back to the feed to continue doom scrolling where I left off. But that's on me lol

(Also side note I don't know if it's just me or if it's my phone, but uploading photos often fails. My work around is closing this app. Opening my photos app and then reopening voyager.)

Edit: also thanks so much for implementing a control fix for this! I appreciate it :)
