@grunfink @nowster @justine The Mastodon docs are a bit ambiguous about this. Arguably, if the link header is missing a client could assume it could behave as though it did exist, with the IDs of the first and last items in the returned page.

That might be what snac is doing. For interoperability purposes it's probably better to always return the link header.

Many apps work ok without the Link header kludge, they just keep track of the last seen post Id, and when they need more posts to be shown, they just use a max_id argument for the next page.

As you say, the Mastodon documentation is a bit ambiguous.

Anyway, I'll work on implementing it. Thanks for the conversation.
