I found a tweet from 2015 via google and wanted to see the surrounding discussion. I couldn't find a way, so I tried just holding page down on the feed, trying to infinitely scroll my way to it. After around 5 minutes it stopped loading tweets. Oh well. edit: I meant this to be a reply to the "failure to handle the basics" post.

There's no way to refresh a tweet in the Android app to load new replies, either. Even if I leave that tweet and come back to it, it often only pulls up locally cached replies. And the replies are often neither chronological nor threaded in any meaningful way. I know the 140 character limit strongly discourages meaningful discussion, but I'm starting to think they believe that every single tweet should stand alone. That replies, likes, and retweets are nothing more than a metric to judge the quality or interestingness of an individual tweet.
