Please add so it auto-updates for real.

Hello, I have been using TUT since when you had it alpha couple years now or more, and the auto-update feature is just not working for me, it grabs new toots, but they get scrolled down and stack on top, I have my PC's on 24/7 like most people, when I leave and come back 12 hours later I have to scroll up ALL the toots like 10 m for each account/windows this is such a pain in the ass, can we add an option to really auto-update? whats happening now is that the older toots do not go down in time so it does not update, instead new toots they stack on top for hours until I come back and scroll up, then having to pick up. I rather go back if I'd like to, then to have to go up for 10-20 m for each of my 4 accounts… You know how much waste of time is that?

Can't you just press Home or lowercase g to get all the way to the top?

Thanks for the fast reply and for the suggestion @RasmusLindroth indeed I had no idea of the g option, this helps but really will be nice to have in my second monitor my 4 toots dividing the monitor window and have them auto-update so when I look while working, I can take a peek without having to press g or scroll up etc.

A stick to the top options should be quite easy to implement, I'll look into it :) Hopefully I'll have some time at Christmas to work some more on tut

The current behavior does have the benefit of putting less strain on the instance, which - since tut doesn't actually display the posts that are scrolling but just their username - seems a bit useless, at least on the federated timeline where you're not going to be recognizing people by just their screen name.

Now, if there were an option to do message previews, or perhaps going for just displaying the timelines in columns or rows however the user configured and displaying message previews like that, and then switching to a fullscreen view or switching back to the current layout of tut with a big 'ole message screen and tiny compact feeds, , then I can see that being really useful, because then you're getting a stream of actual readable messages and can spot interesting stuff as it scrolls by.

There is a preview way ... you just have to setup your tut in a nice way

for example i have always above the timelines and below the preview of most of the toots. (see screenshot) i switch between timelines with leader 1 to x

so i would love to have this auto stay on first entry too :) removes the work of changing to the window and move the cursor up.

Now you can set stick-to-top=true under general :)
