Suggestion: a button to play music in shuffle mode

Hello, I really like your project, I discovered it today on Mastodon, I love it.

I would have a little suggestion, I don't know if it's easy to implement but I think it would be great to have a button to play the music randomly because otherwise we have to wait to visit the site again because we always hear the same music that we have already heard in the same order. If we can play randomly we discover old songs that we could never discover if we listen to them one after the other.

Wow, sorry for the late reply I somehow missed your issue notification.

Mastodon API order of timelines is latest to oldest and the only way to get thruly random results afaik is to randomize the pagination parameter. This is doable but I don't know how well this will works in practice for tracks per request performance on oldest toots (before usage of np and others hashtags)
