Maybe I'm doing it wrong or missing the obvious, but am I the only one who thinks the way to read a fediverse timeline is in proper chronological time order (oldest to newest) like I can easily do in my email app?
Some apps have a context feature or implement threading, but by and large reading or browsing a timeline on the fediverse from newest to oldest seems to be the norm. I find this, at best, unsatisfying.

Im Fediverse sind nicht die Algorithmen schuld, daß ich meine zeit auf Social Media verdaddel, sondern die Menschen in meiner Timeline.
Und Menschen haben da einen großen Vorteil: sie können schuld sein ;-)

It is awesome that #WordPress posts can syndicate to the #Fediverse but the syndication can add some really long posts to the Fedi timeline, like 21-pages-if-you-print long. Not to mention formatting issues.
Ain't nobody reading that on Fedi. 🙂‍
