Saving posts causes lists to refresh and lose scroll position

Adding an article to saved makes the list scroll in a wierd way

I'm aware of the issue, it's a workaround for the AndroidX Paging library not having support for updating its cached item list without a full network refresh. I've started working on a solution but it'll take some time to get it right.

Dropping a quick update on this, I was unable to get AndroidX Paging to do what I was looking for so I've started migrating the app's data layer to Store which natively supports offline-first operations. However, their paging API is currently unstable and due for a massive overhaul very soon so progress here is stalled for a bit until they release the new API.

@msfjarvis thanks for the update. i could port this whole app to React Native and get a much smoother UX but I can't be bothered so I won't. Please take your time here no rush.

That's a pretty unnecessary detail to throw into a thank you message but sure...
