I'm looking into adding another behaviour to the timeline. Something closer to what Mastodon official client is doing. Just loading 20-50 top most posts, and let you tap a “load more” to fill the gap yourself. This will be behind a toggle so you can swap between the current mode and the new one.
@IceCubesApp Glad you’re offering this as a toggle feature. Half the time this “feature” annoys me and the other half I find it very valuable. BTW I now just do a monthly contribution (via Apple) to IceCubes, I hope others are doing the same and this is working out for you. Love the app.
