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 Yes please! There was an old Twitter app (maybe it was even Twittterific?) that would only load the last 200 tweets and that was like the perfect amount to scroll through and feel satisfied enough NOT to click the MORE button and continue doomscrolling.
