Even just fetching 10 posts would be an improvement over no fetching at all. IMHO main thing is to avoid ever seeing a blank profile (which is possible if someone is the first to have any interaction with an account from that server).

@feditips @brayd definitely agreed. As mentioned by others the main problem is not the implementation as that is pretty straightforward to do. The real problem would be the bandwidth used by this feature. I think the best option would be requesting the toots in batches as the user goes down / explicitly requests to load more. Empty profiles are the worst. Everybody needs a preview to decide on a follow :bongoCat:
