I there a way to NOT refresh when opening the app? - eviltoast

I see that the new version (1.0.171) says “now jumping to the top when doing a refresh”.

For me the list gets refreshed when I open the app. So when I spent way too much time scrolling and finally stop and then later want to spend even more time continuing to scroll I open the app, it refreshes and jumps to the top and I loose the position way down. Now I have to scroll through all the posts I already saw to get to where I left off on the top today list.

Am I just using the app wrong? Or is there a way to make the app only update manually and not automatically when re-opening the app?
