Twitter Threads are not always shown as threads #133

Hi,

With my Talon 7.7.7.2192 (and previous versions), I don't (always) see a twitter thread when I click on it in case it is a mentioned Tweet.

Example: Person X is tweeting:

Now, Person Y is mentioning X42 in her Tweet:

Now, clicking on this preview of X42 shows me only X42 with its direct "reactions" from other users like "Z853: What a great thread!". What I don't see is "X42, X43, X44, X45".

Somehow, this issues is not present in 100% of the cases. I, unfortunately, can not tell you when this happens and when not.

Maybe the difference is when there are reactions to X42 or not. Maybe it's when Y is not mentioning X42 but X43? I don't have a second Twitter account to test this properly.

I highly doubt that Twitter threads will ever improve within the app. Twitter has no official API or services for them. All that talon can do is perform a generic search against tweets and the user profiles.

If Twitter were to provide an API for threads, I could fix these issues. As it is though, I do not see any improvements coming, unfortunately.
