I'm...mixed on situations like these
Like yeah, it's very annoying having to manually refresh for more content, but at the same time I do appreciate having more time to fully explore my timeline instead of coming back from a post to see they completely discarded my reading place, losing whatever is was looking at, likely forever.
Of course, for quieter networks you may run into the problem of content refreshing too little...
To be fair, I don't mind the button itself, if it worked as I wanted it to, and could be changed to load from oldest to new, and sustain your scrolling position. But as they do now, you can sustain your position by fiddling with the loading, and you need to load everything to get back to scrolling if you want to read from oldest to newest.
This button was basically designed for people that sort only by popular, but I think I'm not the onlyone who prefers not to have their microblogs pre-curated by popularity, and I really hate it when I am forced to miss posts just because of the general design practices that are designed for commercialized services.
And as I said in another post, the "trending" -statistics of Mastodon is just a peak, and then forgotten. I have my suspicion that it's because people do not sort by popular, and by end up missing the stuff that has trended, because design choises like the funcrionality of this button. Surely, the other element is the trending algorithm, and how it is pushed, but that's a whilly different can of worms to open.
