On follow, deliver last few posts
When we get a follow, should we deliver the last few posts from the followee to the follower? Seems like it'd be nice UX. Those posts' published/updated dates will be intact, so they should merge into the appropriate places in the follower's feed and not all show up at the top.
Hubzilla grabs the last 10 posts when you follow someone (if their platform supports it). It is a really nice feature. I think it should be adopted, where technically feasible.
It would also be nice if you can detect threaded conversations, and get the whole conversation. (Only platforms that have threaded conversations would support this.)
