Bug: Home timeline gets stuck, maybe on one or more filtered posts

Environment:

iOS - 17.2.1

IceCubesApp version v1.10.22

Description

Ice Cubes will get stuck filling in older posts on the Home timeline.

I have quite a few filters. For the last couple (at least) of iPhone app versions Ice Cubes will get stuck and won't go past a post - like nothing has been posted before that. I believe this occurs if I try to scroll past posts, maybe multiple successive posts, that have been filtered.

I've started going into Mammoth, which pages easily through the postings Ice Cubes has gotten stuck on. The last several times this has occurred there have more than one successive posts that Mammoth shows as having been filtered, though the multiple may be a coincidence. Eventually I'll go back to Ice Cubes and the log jam will have broken and I'll see those next posts that have been filtered. The delay before it does this is more than I'll tolerate though - so maybe this is a productivity enhancement.

Could it be the bug gets hit if a single filtered post ends up being the last thing fetched? Or the first of the next batch? Maybe an off-by-one error somewhere?

I just upgraded to 1.10.23 and, so far, its not happening but I'll try to follow-up if I see it in future versions too.

I see no other open bugs mentioning filters with this behavior.

I'm wrong, it's not filtered posts that are the cause. Latest iPhone 1.20.23 just gets stuck for a couple minutes. Starting this comment and going back to count how many posts it managed to display and it's now unstuck. Mammoth breezed through the same top of timeline posts and then continued without pause. If it's gonna get stuck on something external how about a busy or progress indicator? This is all on home WiFi with next to no other network activity. Discouraging
