Description

Mastodon 4.5 added support for fetching all replies. Currently, IceCubes requires you to pull to refresh a status to manually check if there are any new replies found. But the Mastodon web ui uses the AsyncRefreshes api to check on the status of the fetch job, and let the user know if there are new replies to load. The webui implements this by:

  • showing a spinner

  • then a toast if there's new replies found,with a button to load them inline.

Research direction

Start with the Mastodon statuses/context and async_refreshes API documentation linked in the issue, then trace IceCubesApp’s existing pull-to-refresh flow for a status. The work is complete when fetching replies can run asynchronously, shows a spinner, and presents a toast with an inline-load action when new replies are available.
