Sometimes I explore subreddits that are too big to process in one sitting. I'd like to be able to continue from where I left off, but right now there's no easy way to skip to that part. I can bookmark redditp, but the bookmark doesn't have enough context - the image number is neither in the URL nor in the title. Do you think it would make sense to include it in the title so that it's easier to scroll past already seen images?

Not sure if this is even possible...

I mean, an absolute link from any subreddit, even big ones, is permanent, but there is no "static" order of entries from a subreddit, pagination on reddit itself works by setting an offset, i.e. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/?count=25&after=t3_xfzii3

@Hrxn Sure! I understand that skipping might be very difficult or impossible - that's why I'm OK doing this part on my own by jumping to the end of each page manually. What I'd like to be able to easily keep track is: which image should I stop skipping at?

If we saved the after=t3_xfzii3 in the url, we could continue from that post. The numbering would have to start at 1 because we don't have a way to go backwards, but at least you would have a continuity there. Would that be good?

It would actually be pretty amazing!

The problem is, I believe people expect a refresh to start from the top. So I'm not sure how to make everyone happy here.

I thought of the same. That's why I suggested just putting the image number in the page title. This way it's noninvasive and already aids the user in finding what they're looking for, manually.

maybe adding a "permalink" link in the bottom ribbon?
