So this is a design problem I considered when building CList. Not whether I should build an iPhone-only app - that is really a user-hostile way to roll out a product and never really crossed my mind. No, the real question is whether to put all the posts from all the services (Mastodon, Bluesky, Tumblr, blogs) into one single feed. I see the appeal of this - it consolidates everything into one place. But from a practical perspective, it's unmanageable: it's too much content in one place. That's why while CList aggregates all of these as well, it keeps them separate when you're reading them , and merges things only when you want to reply. Via Apostolos K.
