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 If it allows images and videos/GIFs to load faster, or keep their loading from blanking out all of the other images in the timeline as they load on slow connections, I’m all for it. That is my biggest annoyance right now. When media loads for detail viewing, the entire timeline’s images become unviewable.
