Timeline read position syncing can’t come soon enough for Micro.blog. It pains me every single day.
Aaand the app reloaded out of memory and I lost my position after scrolling and loading many pages. Awesome.
Goddammit. I switched to the web version on my iPhone, scrolled and loaded alllll the way badk to my postion. The screen rotated. The tab reloaded due to a memory issue. Back to the top of the timeline. 🤦♂️
I swear I posted this because its something I think about a lot, and not because I was currently having issues. Those started after I mentioned it tonight.
And in case anyone is wondering why I feel the need to go back and read everything…I follow/subscribe to people because I want to read their stuff. All of their stuff. If I wanted read some of their stuff, I’d rely on a recommendation algorithm that’s all the rage on other networks. I actually think timeline completionists like me are in line with Micro.blog’s ethos, if not its current user experience.
I tapped a link in a post. Hit the back button. It reloaded. Top again.
I’m the same way. But since I read roughly 100-200x more posts than I respond to, I just follow my following feed in my RSS reader.
@jsonbecker I might have to give that another try. I’ve done it before and didn’t like the experience much, but last night was very frustrating.
@vincent 😝
@vincent me too; I’d love to use Gluon, but its lack of timeline persistence is a fatal flaw. I use Icro, which isn’t as nice, but at least maintains the timeline position (albeit with manual loading to catch up).
@vincent It’s a bug! 😉
@vincent in terms of my using it, yes. Hey, I’m an app developer too, so I understand this can be frustrating feedback, but knowing what features are showstoppers for some people is useful.
@dejus Your post made me re-install Icro. I liked where it was going and am sad that it came to a stand still.
@vincent
@dejus I haven’t tried Icro, but maybe I should. I used Gluon for a while, but have switched to the official app for most of the year.
@vincent @dejus Oh, I should have read down the conversation. Maybe I won’t be trying Icro afterall.
