Mastodawn

Nelson Minar Dec 27, 2022

Every morning I load up Mastodon or Tusky and see the newest messages. Then I scroll down and press "load more" 5-20 times to page in all the messages until I see one I remember. Then I slowly scroll back up, reading in time order. It's bad UX.

Every social media feed product is like this (except RSS readers). I want to read everything, in time order. Why is that so hard?

@nelson it’s not much better if you follow someone who has a popular post with people you follow.... makes the “finding where I left off” problem even more irritating. I read top to bottom in every other medium, and posts and threads can be much longer than a single phone screen, so the chronology running opposite the direction of text is super annoying. #HearHear!
