Georgiana Brummell

Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's, though acoustic recordings can also be fun. I love theatre, mostly English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am a huge Ivor Novello fan. I prefer antique menswear and accessories (no feminine clothing). It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter. I am happily childfree, and speak my mind. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me. You can also find me on Dreamwidth

This is ridiculous. I can't even find where I am with a phone using Pachli. It's absolutely nothing like TweeseCake. I can read posts and respond to them, but I have to keep scrolling and can't immediately go to the top or bottom of a list. So if I haven't used this since October 2024, I have to arrow to the posts from the present, which means literally thousands upon thousands of keystrokes. Even when I go to notifications, I'm not sure if I'm reading current things or older ones. I'm sure Tusky is the same, since Pachli is based on it. I can try racoon, but I'm guessing it won't have great keyboard support either. Not everyone wants to use a touchscreen! Fortunately, from what I know, the makers of Pachli really do care about accessibility, so perhaps, something can be done to increas the number of keyboard shortcuts.

From the top right three-dot menu choose "Load newest posts" to jump to the top.

You can also change the behaviour when tapping a tab to do this, pachli.app/pachli/2024/09/30/2…

Content in timelines is generally shown with the newest items at the top. There is also an experimental control to change that, pachli.app/pachli/2024/08/30/2…

Pachli 2.8.0 released

Pachli 2.8.0 is now available. This release introduces experimental support for reading the timeline in reverse order and significantly improves notification reliability, as well as the usual bug fixes and other small improvements.

@Pachli I sincerely thank you for such a prompt response! But can this be done from the keyboard? If so, how?

I haven't tried it, but if your device supports Talkback then support.google.com/accessibili… lists the keyboard shortcuts for navigating around the screen.

I have just tried with Talkback gesture navigation and that lets me navigate to the menu, open it, and choose "Load newest posts", so I expect the keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing should work.
