"Load more" on any microblogging app for any platform... - Lemmy.world

Yeah, I understand that everything can’t be loaded at the sam time, but this is not the solution. The reason to browse by chronological order, from oldest to newest, is so that I don’t miss posts. But on everey single microblogging app, decentralized or ran by a lunatic wit too much money, there is the barrier between the last few new posts, and where you last left reading. The eorst part: this loads the newest first, and prefers to push you to the top, requiring you to search where you actually left off. How about we just have a button to “go to the newest” that throws you to whatever has been published within the 5 minutes, and assume if you’re browsing from bottom to top, you want more to be shown, but properly chronologically.

Jerboa deletes login, if instance is unreachable. - Lemmy.world

So, past few days, the instance I have my account in, seems to crash and burn every morning, when I would like to browse it. I wouldn’t otherwise mind waiting fir the few minutes it takes to the issue being fixed, but Jerbia decides it’s a great idea to PURGE EVERYTHING if there is any sort of hitch in the login. Now, I do notice I get a some sort of javascript error every time this happens, and I suppose it’s a null reference error, but I also imagine the issue is not isolated to a situation where the instance itself is down, but can probably be replicated by a local network outage. And an easy solytion is to add a variable that tells the app that the logins used has been valit, with an option to change the password, rather than just lose everything. Zure, it might be cool if there was a tiny check to see if the instance exist, when loging in with a saved credentials, and notify about not being able to reach it, but the most important feature would be to have a “newly invalid login” to still exists within the app.
