Ability to set default account for app launch

ability to set a default account, so app automatically loads feed from the default account

Additional flows would be to not have a default account, but for Mlem to simply remember the latest used account.

in those contexts, perhaps offer some method of notifying which account is being used and the ability to switch, if appropriate in the context.

We may also have a UX inconsistency problem with sharing a link into Mlem, as for which account it would open with.

If the app closed in the background, should we open the link with the default account, or the last-opened account?

What if the app was in the foreground? Would we switch to the default account, or open in the currently-active one?

This is technically possible now - the first account in the account list is the "default" account, and you can reorder the list in settings by tapping and holding the item. But maybe we need to make this behavior more clear?

Arguably it might be better to just use the last account that the user was using before closing the app 🤔
