@prologic I am seeing a problem in which not-so-active users, such as myself, are ending up having a blank "Recent twts from..." under their profiles because, I assume, the cache long expired. What can be done about it? Business personalities such as myself can't be around here that often! Could something be implemented so that, say, the last 10 or 20 twts are always visible under one's profile? Neep-gren!
@quark Yes we _can_ do something here. In general I don't think this should be "on" by default. Like other such Pod-level and User-level settings why don't we do this with pod default Pod-level flexibility in mind, default "off" for all new users and a choice for Users to turn on preservation of "N Twts" on their profiles? (_if they choose to_) 🤔

@prologic I fully agree with making it a pod-level setting (forget about user-level, let us not complicate things too much; we all know users know nothing). Should I send a latinum over for this, or will an issue just suffice? Neep-gren!
The other alternative which is a little more work but generally solves more problems and closes off multiple issues at once is adding in built-in support for search for all pods. That way we can "Load from Archive" (_an explicit user action_) can be done everywhere else where that is appropriate -- e.g: old Yarns -- As well as providing search in general and even doing fancy things like the "Gallery View" of someone's profile that @darch dreams about 😅

@prologic let us take the path of less resistance, that is, less effort, for now. I am going to be a great-grandfather before search ever get implemented locally, least one to search on "all pods". In other words, let us don't bite more than we can chew. 😹 Neep-gren!
Bahahahahaha 😂 You do know there is a global search engine right? 😅 It just needs a bit of love _sigh_ need more resources on the team 🤣
