@feditips yeah just looked a second into it and AFAIK there is no API method for this yet. (Or I haven't seen it). So I guess creating an API method that fetches the last 1000 posts or so would make sense. Rate limiting on this would also make sense, otherwise it could be used as an attack. Have to tinker around a bit.

Anyways fetching ALL 100k posts (if someone posted that much) wouldn't make sense. Should still be limited to some kind

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).
