I've been trying to use Tuba as my Mastodon client, to avoid a tab on my web browser, but I honestly can't get into the fact that I have to manually refresh the feed.
@ebassi perhaps I misunderstand you, but on Tuba 0.6.2 (just released on flatpak), when I open the Home tab, new toots auto load without me having to do anything. I don't know if this helps, but I turned on in Preferences > Timelines > Stream Timelines to ON. This may or may not be what you're looking for, but autoloading new toots works for me.
Incidentally: no, I will never work on my own client. I literally wrote a JSON parser[0], a Twitter client library[1], a toolkit[2], and a Twitter client[3], and that was as far as I would go, even for the Hellsite…
@benpocalypse it does, if it manages to complete the TLS handshake with the server—which apparently is not working reliably on mastodon.social, at the moment…
@ebassi I generally just use Tuba to start at the top of my feed and scroll down, but it looks like option is there in the settings to have it stream. I wonder if you're right and there is a bug with mastodon.social.
