clacke[m]: These unpredictable jumps in the Mastodon timeline are annoying. Am I the only one bothered by this? And is there a way to change it?

<clacke[m]>
Regenaxer: what's that?
<Regenaxer>
I posted twice on this issue in Mastodon, but no reaction
<Regenaxer>
The problem is that the timeline jumps in an unpredictable way
<Regenaxer>
In the browser GUI it is unbearable, and two of the Android apps too
<Regenaxer>
Mastalab is better, but still happens especially in the world timeline
<Regenaxer>
My theory is that it has to do with the timeline being forced to be ordered
<Regenaxer>
So when toots posted earlier arrive later, the list gets reordered
<clacke[m]>
maybe you're reading something, and then a new message comes in, and the timeline bumps down a bit to accomodate the incoming message?
<Regenaxer>
I was near to abandon Mastodon completely, until I finally tried Mastalab which is a *little* better
<Regenaxer>
yes
<Regenaxer>
not just a bit
<Regenaxer>
The web gui does a *complete* refresh
<Regenaxer>
blanking out the view, and redrawing it
<clacke[m]>
I don't use the Masto UI except for searching and the static pages for particular conversations, so I wouldn't know.
<Regenaxer>
And in the apps too, if you drag up for new toots
<clacke[m]>
the Pleroma UI on a GNU Social backend
<clacke[m]>
complete refresh sounds really weird
<Regenaxer>
yeah
<Regenaxer>
In twitter it goes up smoothly
<Regenaxer>
there is an indicator dot, and you can drag down the text
<Regenaxer>
In Mastodon I completely lose overview about where I am after a drag down ;)
<Regenaxer>
I wonder why this is so
<Regenaxer>
I can't be the only one experiencing this
<Regenaxer>
One more thing I do not understand:
<Regenaxer>
You wrote today "We may think (and we'd be right) that the Transformers stories ..."
<Regenaxer>
This is more than 500 characters. I read that the limit in Mastodon is 500 (?)
<Regenaxer>
Also other toots are much longer
<Regenaxer>
Your toot is 1.6 KiB
<clacke[m]>
... and it was longer than 500 characters?
<clacke[m]>
yes
<clacke[m]>
the self-imposed default limit in Mastodon is 500
<clacke[m]>
you can patch your instance, or you can use another implementation with configurable limit
<clacke[m]>
so social.heldscal.la e.g. has a 5k limit
<clacke[m]>
omg this episode "the God Gambit" has the line "there are no sky gods. I believe in reason and common sense!", was this allowed on American TV in 1986?
<Regenaxer>
Ah, cool, I see
<Regenaxer>
hehe

clacke[m]: Yeah, they didn't get full retard evangelist until Bush Jr. The sixties were a progressive decade for them too, cleaned out much of the fifties christian craze.

As for social networks, I'm leaning towards just keeping some IRC and a few friends in a simple pil based forum somewhere.
