 *                   nothing about the last post ids. there will be no gap since
 *                   timeline is empty on screen.
 * "latest" this is used when we have a timeline on screen but we want to update
 *          it with the latest posts. since getposts rpc may limit the number of
 *          posts to receive, a gap may be created. that is, between the most
 *          recent post of the previous update and the lower id received by getposts.
 * "fillgap" this is used to fill the gap after "latest" was used.
 * "older"  this is used to scroll down the timeline, to older posts than are
 *          currently being shown on screen.
