Looks like a lot ofpeople are confused/annoyed by Mastodon and many other Fediverse platforms not backfilling old posts when an account is followed.
This complete lack of backfilling means that many new accounts or those with few followers may appear completely blank, even if they've posted lots of interesting stuff.
If you agree and think Mastodon should backfill at least some posts when people follow an account, please give this issue a thumbs up:

If you're not comfortable using github, let me know and I can try to post on your behalf.

I'm not comfy usnig GitHub so yes I'd take you up on a thumbs up for:
- backfilling with last 10 posts if not infinite scroll / page pagination
or at least
- a notice to say 'More on the server' (or something similar) IF platform doesn't want to backfill
Though I have to admit I stopped going to pages non-native to mastodon as they often *don't* support older browsers for such simple messages... (at least should have a basic version for older browsers instead of almost blank page)
