Is anyone unable to see "Home" timeline in #Tokodon app? I tried logging out and logging back but it doesn't show any items. :\

Found the culprit! It was the `max_id` parameter in `/api/v1/timeline/api/v1/timelines/home` endpoint.
The code inside Tokodon is as follows:
```cpp
// maintimelinemodel.cpp
if (!fromId.isEmpty() && !query.hasQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"))) {
// TODO: this is an *upper bound* so it always is one less than the last post we read
// is this really how it's supposed to work wrt read markers?
query.addQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"), fromId);
}
```
This code can be searched via `max_id` keyword. You need to comment out the `query.addQueryItem` line and Tokodon will work just fine.
I think this is a BUG for the following reasons:
1. `max_id` invalidation failure
2. Lack of retry logic w/o this query item when we know API response (`data` variable) is empty.
3. When user logged out, all such data should be deleted as well. A full logout from the app should've reset this data.
A part of me thinks this info was sent by Mastodon server as part of my account info.

This is in Manjaro Linux fully updated with #Qt 6.10
This was a fun bug to track though :)
