We would like your feedback about issues you get with the remember position in timelines and the fetch more feature.
Please, if you are concerned try to describe as much as possible when it occurs. Thank you.

Not sure if it still is related to the issues mentioned.

When I switched on my phone this morning at the top of the TL was the toot I saw there last night. What me surprised, it still was marked as posted only 2 hours ago. Just scrolled a bit up and down in the TL and this changed to 10 hours.

When I further scrolled up I encountered the answer - 2h ago - of someone I follow to a toot - 3h ago - of someone else I follow, both public. But I never saw the original toot in my TL. There actually is a big gap in the TL. After the last toot from last night there are one of two dating back about 7 hours - around 6 am in Europe - and what follows was posted at most 2 hours ago. Now I wonder if nobody has posted between 6 am and 11 am, what I doubt.

Short explanation, I'm seven hours behind Central Europe and using 3.16.4 on Android 12 with all the new features introduced yesterday switched on.

@apps
Btw, I also did not get notifications about answers on my toots that came in during the mentioned period. But I just saw them in the notification timeline.

@apps
The five hours been 6am and 11am when supposedly nobody I follow posted.

@ElOssiPolar
Check with the Web app if you see missing messages.

@apps Well in the timeline at the web interface there I can see loads of toots between 6 am and 11 am.

But I also had problems updating the timeline in a Mastodon web interface I had open in Rambox. Only a restart of Rambox updated the TL. But now I see all toots I could not see in the app too. Thus I killed #Fedilab and started it again. The toots between 6 am and 11 am are still missing.

@ElOssiPolar
Clearing the cache from the app (main menu) might help.

@apps
Interestingly, now quite a few posts appear twice in the timeline. This for example as made 2 hours ago - when I actually saw it first - and again marked as sent 52 minutes ago.

@apps
That did the trick. Honestly, it did not occur to me that the cache might be the problem. Sorry for bothering.

@ElOssiPolar The problem, the app should have detected that holes and fetched messages remotely.

@apps
I'm confused now. It seems, that after clearing the cache the home timeline for mixed up. I can see every thing confusing replies. Will clear all cache again, did it only for home yet, and have a look.

@apps
After deleting the cache of all timelines in all accounts and not only the cache of the home timeline of the account in question everything seems to be back to normal.
