   I don't use Poast so much these days because frankly, it's unusable. Every time I'm scrolling the main timeline, I click a video, I get to watch 5 seconds before the timeline loads 20 more posts in, shoves the content I was watching out of view, forces me to scroll to find it again, and when I do and inevitably click "play" again, it happens all over again. So unless I remember to open each and every single post I want to interact with in a new tab, I never get to see anything.
   
   It's *infuriating* from a usability standpoint. Never seen a social media website do this.
   
   old.poa.st used to be a stopgap solution, but now that's gone, so it's just nonstop loading trash. FIX IT!
   
   Included below - video of this happening in real time. I'm not doing this. Poast is doing it automatically for some insane reason.

     @NeonRevolt I think there’s a setting for “load posts at the end” that doesn’t do anything to fix it, either. I think a lot of people don’t quite notice because they don’t follow enough people to have a very active timeline.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS @NeonRevolt I know, I lose sleep over this bug. I've spent many hours trying to fix it and it doesn't make sense. I also can't reproduce it consistently. However I'm rewriting basically the whole data layer of the application at the moment, so that code will be different soon and maybe it'll be fixed.

     @marlin @alex @IAMAL_PHARIUS If you really want to currently watch something in full screen with the bug doing this will be a way to get around it at the moment.

     @alex @IAMAL_PHARIUS If this is a feature request Saturday, could you look into fixing full screening of spoilered video? It's impossible to make spoilered videos full screen, the full screen icon is always under the spoiler button. Thank you for your service.
