Description
I'm someone for whom swiping makes no real sense to do replies, likes, etc. since the buttons are right there, but who relies a lot on lists and subscribed tags to be able to keep track of various fields of interest.
Using lists becomes essential once you follow around 150+ people because it becomes impossible to keep track of things in the timeline (especially if you only check Mastodon twice a day).
But the current list UX is... sub-optimal. For instance, when you're commuting and holding your phone single-handed it is quite hard to reach the top of the screen (a failing that is common to many iOS apps as phones become taller and more unwieldy).
Would it be possible to add an option to switch the timeline to the next/prev view (as seen in the top drop-down) just by swiping? That would preempt per-message actions, of course, but to me at least, that seems a great compromise.

Research direction
Start by locating the timeline's top drop-down and the existing per-message swipe actions in the iOS client. Review how lists and subscribed tags select timeline views, then determine how next/previous view swipes should coexist with message actions. Done means swiping switches between the available timeline views without breaking per-message gestures.
