I would see old tweets from Twitter, old pictures from Instagram, or other stuff from Facebook.  Seeing my older content in Timehop became a regular part of my day. It was a source of some nostalgia and perhaps even some joy."

Using my good friend Claude (AI), I was able to get another tab in my Media Diary dedicated to showing me old tweets, Instagram posts, and BlueSky posts on that same day from previous years.  I even resuscitated my Twitter archive I created when quit a couple years ago.  Now I can see plenty of old social media from that tab.  Works great!"
