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 Heh! :) I can't recall if I asked for the 'load more' refresh style back in the day* but I've become accustomed to and actually really like the current method of scrolling. (Toggling the setting sounds good though).
And I don't like the word 'gaps', it fills me with dread that I might miss something important, like your toot. :)
*it's actually decades ago isn't it!
