a Twitter question...

[ratcreature]

I don't use Twitter to post but I follow a couple of people, only my reading feed sometimes doesn't show all tweets and I don't know why.

I have set it to "Latest" so Twitter should show things to me in chronological order, yet just now of the last three links to goodreads reviews an author I follow posted, I see only one in my feed, even though I see all three when I go to their Twitter directly. I only noticed because one of the two reviews was actually shown to me earlier, but then when I went back to my feed after reading it on goodreads it was gone from my Twitter feed. Then I checked the poster's Twitter directly and discovered that tweet and the second one that are there, but not in my feed when I refresh it. I remember noticing something similar when I noticed tweets missing when I visited Twitter on different devices. I don't use their app, but view logged in, in a browser, regardless whether I view on a laptop or a mobile device, if that makes a difference.

Is there some reason for this weird behavior? Can I stop Twitter from doing this to me, or do I just have to live with a randomly incomplete reading page?

I hope you get an answer for this question. Will be watching.

Do you have the same issue?

I'm not exactly sure, but I know it's difficult to get the timeline to be in chronological order. And I'm pretty sure it misses some posts. Part of the reason I'm unsure is that I don't read Twitter very often, a couple of times a day, so that's on me. But I'm sure the timeline is NOT always chronological, even though I have the settings to be so. Surely we're not the only ones?

I don't check that often either, because I don't follow that many. Maybe most people follow more and just don't notice if a tweet got dropped? Or if you also use a browser, maybe it's a stupid push to make people use their app?
