If I was to rewrite @IceCubesApp timeline I would adopt the official @Mastodon app behaviour. Load the 20 newest posts, and have a button to load the gap. Would people be ok with that?
@dimillian@IceCubesApp@Mastodon I read in chronological order, and skip to top only if I have way too much to catch up on. While I have your attention, if I asked for one fix it would be to hide reposted duplicates.
