We're considering pagination, but are a bit confused as to how to
approach the cases where a user's timeline changes a lot at once. For
example, if I'm on page 3 and after the cache clears my timeline has
100 new updates, by the time I get to page 4 I'm on updates that came
after the last page I was looking at.

Has anyone else come up with a solution for this that doesn’t use
local caching?

ETags and increments versus pagination seems to way to go.
