Description
Mastodon provides a [markers API](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/markers/) that could allow for timeline sync in Phanpy and other apps. It'd be great if timeline sync could be added, to sync between devices! I currently use this feature on Ivory (which uses its own API for this, not Mastodon's) and being able to jump between phone/desktop is really neat.
[Not even the official web version of Mastodon uses this API yet](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/19036), so I am not sure how reliable it is, but could be worth giving it a shot?

Research direction
Start by reading Mastodon's markers API documentation linked in the issue and inspect Phanpy's timeline and account-sync entry points. Determine how timeline positions should be stored and exchanged between devices, then verify that switching devices restores the expected position without disrupting timeline use.
