Strange browser "back button" behavior? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm seeing strange behavior when I click on a post, then click the "back button" in my browser. Sometimes if I'm on the "subscribed" tab, click on an article, then press back, it seems to show me "all" or "local" posts. Sometimes it shows me a different list if I'm on the "all" tab, click on a post, then press back. Same behavior on Firefox mobile and desktop version.

Haven't went into in-depth testing, but I can't be the only one seeing this right?

Guessing it's something to do with browser, CDN, or server-side cache?

This is a Lemmy-ui bug, not related to CDN/cache.

I had submitted a bug report for it some time ago but it's not that urgent in the great scheme of things so they didn't get around to it yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1865

(the report speaks about this happening after you log in, but it's the same thing).

What you can do to mitigate the error right now is to refresh after using the back button. It will load the correct, previous page.
