                                                                                                                                        The biggest update in this build is making the Home tab behavior completely explicit. Under the hood, I changed the tab dispatch in MastoBlasterApp.swift, added the Home tab notifications in NotificationDelegate.swift, and moved the actual scroll/refresh behavior into TimelineView.swift so the timeline state stays coherent.

                                                                                                                                        Here is exactly how it works now:

                                                                                                                                        • Tap Home from another tab: Switches back to the Home tab.

                                                                                                                                        • Tap Home again while already at the top: Refreshes the timeline (with a 1.5-second cooldown to prevent accidental spamming).
                                                                                                                                        • Long-press Home: Opens the timeline picker.

                                                                                                                                        Test it out and let me know if everything holds up.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      MastoBlaster Build 94 is now available on TestFlight.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      This is a major release that merges several different development branches I've been working on, bringing together a lot of moving parts into a single build. A long, sleepless night…

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Here is what changed:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.
