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 heh. whereas i like starting with the most recent, and going backward in time.
some clients enable the interaction you prefer. Metatext does, I know.

@peterme @nelson no, it doesn’t. It can remember you position, but the order of reading and the order of posts are still in contradiction (the future should be down).
