Yeah, I understand that everything can’t be loaded at the sam time, but this is not the solution. The reason to browse by chronological order, from oldest to newest, is so that I don’t miss posts. But on everey single microblogging app, decentralized or ran by a lunatic wit too much money, there is the barrier between the last few new posts, and where you last left reading.
The eorst part: this loads the newest first, and prefers to push you to the top, requiring you to search where you actually left off.
How about we just have a button to “go to the newest” that throws you to whatever has been published within the 5 minutes, and assume if you’re browsing from bottom to top, you want more to be shown, but properly chronologically.
This is usually the app failing to fetch remote posts in your timeline, on Fedilab you can set the app to do it for you
It’s never been too much of an annoyance for me, but that’s because I am already used to it. I think that the app needs to do it by itself without needing user intervention.
