@brhfl I'm absolutely stunned by the revelation. it's obviously not something I do often, but when I wanna paginate and jump a big chunk by editing the url parameters, I damn well wanna be able to do just that.
"no one would ever want to look through their timeline from this time a few intervals ago, and if they did they'd just scroll back five years or whatever, no big deal."
i just checked cuz i was kinda curious and on a friend's firefish instance (at least I think it's firefish), when you scroll down through the infinite scroll, your browser makes a POST request with the query parameters in it, of all things, to retrieve the next page of posts; also totally nonsensical
I have to admit, this one bugs me. Social media is the closest thing to a diary I've ever been able to keep up, and i miss being able to reread my old thoughts.
@goosey @ifixcoinops @technomancy I regularly download my archive, and do a s/},/&\n/g so it puts each toot on its own line and is readable in some editors. But I really need to write/find a proper UI for it instead.
As long as this old data is stored, I want an interface that lets me dial in a past date/time to see the timeline from then. Seems wrong that it's hard for users to do that (but the data is still there -- so *someone* can do it).
@graue yeah, yeah, it was beautiful, just like 20 toots and a link to go back further in time for another twenty, and it used url params so you could mess with the minimum_id directly to jump a whole bunch of time, and it wasn't ideal but it was functional, and now it's just gone. dead. I weep.
@graue that is the "slow mode" setting right? Ugh why is website boy trying to make this place a hellscape when there isn't profit motive here necessitating such exploitation?

Other than possibly the entry barrier of being a Python script, it works pretty well.

in reply to DJ Sundog • •@DJ Sundog - from the toot-lab I've been using Friendica since before Gargon had looked up what a trunk was.
It's wonderful, first class plugins, first class themes, and fairly agnostic to the underlying protocol. Lets you be what you wanna be.
