Feature request: try to stay on same content when switching account (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Currently, when using the user switcher by long-pressing the profile icon, you will be taken to the home feed after a switch.

Can an option be added to try to stay in the same location (community or post) after switching users? Though, I see the profile switcher is not currently available when viewing a post.

Use case: I have an account I use for most things, and an alt account I use for NSFW. It would be nice to be able to quickly swap over to the NSFW account after discovering a new community or seeing something I'd like to bookmark, without having to remember where it is/search for the content again after switching accounts.

I suspect the tricky part will be what to do if the alt account's server doesn't have a federated copy of the content. In that case, going to the home feed would be fine, perhaps with a notification giving the option to open the content in web. Maybe also return to the content/where you left off when switching back to the original account.
