@dansup I’m sure some like the trending posts in their timeline and it drives engagement, but it makes getting to older posts indirect, and makes me feel like I don’t have control of my timeline. (The fact that this trending list is often similar or identical means that this both messes up my curated timeline, and mostly fails to increase discovery after the first time.)
I do like the indication that I’m caught up. Maybe instead of a link for older posts, have a link for seeing trending posts?
