Description

While it does show the most recent posts when you refresh it at first, the top posts are always older posts. This doesn't happen on the Bluesky feed or the mixed feed. This also happens on the iOS/iPadOS version.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mastodon-specific feed after refresh and compare its ordering with the Bluesky and mixed feeds, including on iOS/iPadOS. Trace the feed-loading and sorting entry points; done means the newest Mastodon posts consistently appear at the top after refresh.
