Summary

  • expose canonical top routes with an old Reddit-style links-from menu while removing sort and time controls from the global topbar
  • restore alternate sorts for communities that only preload a complete post page and preserve explicit top time-window caches
  • progressively widen non-top feed windows in place and let reachable communities render while unavailable peers retry

Verification

  • 267 Vitest tests pass
  • production build passes
  • lint passes
  • type-check passes
  • changed-scope React Doctor exits successfully; the full repository scan retains its existing baseline findings
  • Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit pass desktop and mobile feed checks; throttled Chrome also passes the hot to top to hot flow

Note

Medium Risk
Touches primary feed views, URL routing, and sort/time-window logic; regressions could affect what users see and how pagination behaves, though tests were added.

Overview
This PR changes how top feeds and time windows work across Seedit, and how non-top feeds load posts over wider ranges without URL churn.

Top sort and time UI: Route sort is renamed from topAll to top, with redirects from legacy URLs while the protocol still uses topAll. Sort and global time dropdowns are removed from the topbar; top views instead show a “links from” dropdown (hour through all time) with new i18n strings. Time filter path segments apply only on top; other sorts strip stray time segments and no longer append time to header sort links. Session-stored top preferences restore via preferredTopTimeFilterPath redirects.

Feed loading: Main feed views switch from raw useFeed plus duplicate weekly/monthly/yearly feeds to useProgressiveFeed, which probes wider windows and expands automatically or on load-more without navigation. useFeedWithCompatibleSort merges protocol pages with client sorting when a community only publishes a complete preloaded hot page. Footer “wider time filter” suggestions, useAutoExpandTimeFilter, and the auto-expanded time filter store are removed.

Risk: Medium—core feed routing, pagination, and multi-community sort behavior changed across home, all, mod, domain, and community views, though covered by new unit tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds progressive feed loading, canonical top-sort routes, and a localized top time-filter dropdown. Feed views use the new hooks and route helpers. Legacy wider-feed suggestions, related footer props, and top-bar filter dropdowns are removed.

Changes

Feed navigation and filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical sort and time-filter routing
src/constants/sort-types.ts, src/hooks/use-time-filter.ts, src/lib/utils/time-filter-utils.ts, src/lib/utils/progressive-time-filter-utils.ts
Route helpers normalize topAll to top, validate top-specific filters, preserve query strings, and define progressive time windows.
Progressive feed orchestration
src/hooks/use-feed-with-compatible-sort.ts, src/hooks/use-progressive-feed.ts, src/hooks/use-suggestion-feed-loader.ts, src/lib/utils/feed-sort-utils.ts, src/lib/utils/progressive-time-filter-utils.ts, src/hooks/*.test.*, src/lib/utils/*test.ts
New utilities and hooks probe wider windows, select compatible community feeds, merge posts, deduplicate by CID, and coordinate loading and retries.
Feed view route and loading integration
src/views/all/all.tsx, src/views/community/community.tsx, src/views/domain/domain.tsx, src/views/home/home.tsx, src/views/mod/mod.tsx
Views use normalized sort values, progressive feeds, canonical redirects, and direct loadMore handling.
Top time-filter control
src/components/top-time-filter/*, src/components/feed-footer/feed-footer.tsx, src/components/header/header.tsx, src/components/topbar/*
A new localized dropdown persists selected top filters. Older top-bar and wider-feed footer controls are removed.
Localized filter labels
public/translations/*/default.json
Locale files add time-filter and link-source translation keys.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 55073

This PR changes feed routing and background time-window expansion; a pagination edge case may sustain repeated requests without visible progress, while unavailable browser storage can disrupt top-route navigation and some localized filter labels remain misleading. The risks are bounded, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Inline comments:
In `@public/translations/da/default.json`:
- Line 419: Update the all_time translation values to approved labels meaning
the complete time range rather than “always”: change
public/translations/da/default.json lines 419-419,
public/translations/nl/default.json lines 419-419, and
public/translations/pt/default.json lines 419-419, using the approved Danish,
Dutch, and Portuguese translations respectively.

In `@public/translations/es/default.json`:
- Line 419: Update the all_time translation value from “siempre” to “todo el
tiempo” so the Spanish label correctly represents the all-time period.

In `@public/translations/fr/default.json`:
- Line 419: Update the all_time translation to use an explicit unbounded-time
phrase instead of “toujours” in public/translations/fr/default.json lines
419-419 and instead of “sempre” in public/translations/it/default.json lines
419-419; apply the corresponding natural French and Italian all-time labels.

In `@public/translations/ru/default.json`:
- Line 416: Update the links_from translation to the approved Russian wording
that explicitly preserves the “links from” relationship, rather than using the
standalone “ссылки” label.

In `@public/translations/tr/default.json`:
- Line 416: Update the links_from translation in the Turkish locale to use a
native-approved time-filter label such as “bağlantılar,” so the rendered label
correctly prefixes the selected time range.

In `@public/translations/vi/default.json`:
- Line 414: Update the Vietnamese translation entries past_hour and all_time:
use “1 giờ qua” for past_hour and “từ trước đến nay” for all_time, preserving
the surrounding translation structure.

In `@src/hooks/use-suggestion-feed-loader.ts`:
- Around line 15-25: Move the progressive feed loading currently implemented by
useSuggestionFeedLoader’s useEffect into useProgressiveFeed/useFeed or a
declarative `@bitsocial/bitsocial-react-hooks` API, so shouldProbeWindow-driven
loadMore requests are initiated without invoking loadMore from an effect.
Preserve the existing guards for shouldLoad, requestKey, hasMore,
targetFeedLength, and duplicate request keys.

In `@src/views/community/community.tsx`:
- Line 255: Update the community view around useTimeFilter and the domain view
around its corresponding time-filter setup to add the existing
session-preference redirect pattern used by the all, home, and moderator views,
ensuring stored windows become explicit route parameters. Apply the change in
src/views/community/community.tsx lines 255-255 and src/views/domain/domain.tsx
lines 33-34.

In `@src/views/home/home.tsx`:
- Around line 61-64: Replace the direct sessionStorage.getItem call in the
useEffect with the existing getSessionTimeFilterPreference helper, preserving
the topTimeFilterNames validation and fallback to all.

Addressed the valid P1 progressive-loader finding in 5507369. Background page loads now handle rejections and zero-progress pages with bounded retry backoff, own timer cleanup in the timer effect, and avoid duplicate Strict Mode requests. Added focused coverage for backoff, rejected loads, target cancellation, and Strict Mode replay; the full 271-test suite, build, lint, type-check, changed-scope React Doctor, and fresh cross-browser hot-feed checks pass.

Addressed the remaining valid review findings in two separate commits:

  • 8cb76c05 re-audits the three reviewed time-filter labels across all 35 locales and corrects ambiguous “always”/source wording, including the Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese cases.
  • d0c058e3 centralizes remembered top-window routing in useTimeFilter, uses the existing storage-safe preference reader, and makes remembered windows explicit for home, all, moderated, community, and domain routes. Added coverage for all five route scopes, explicit/search routes, and denied sessionStorage.

I did not move loadMore() out of the pagination effect: the installed @bitsocial/bitsocial-react-hooks API exposes pagination imperatively and has no declarative auto-pagination option. The effect coordinates that external API rather than fetching data independently; relocating the same effect would be cosmetic, while changing the shared package is outside this PR. The retry/error path is now bounded and covered by 5507369a. The generic docstring-coverage suggestion also does not match this repository's TypeScript conventions.

Final local verification on the new head: 51 test files / 278 tests, production build, lint, type-check, unchanged 18-warning changed-scope React Doctor baseline, desktop/mobile Chrome + Firefox + WebKit routing checks, fresh private-style /hot load with posts, and a warmed mid-tier throttled /top/all/hot transition with 16 post links and no loading/empty/overflow state.
