A masonry layout is the feature I seek in every media heavy feed since Tumblr times. Multiple columns are a lot more pleasant do scroll and, as images have multiple dimensions, a regular grid requires a lot of cropping to look good.
Also, I think in a media timeline the text should not be wholly show, bur cut to some number of characters, or restricted to titles/CWs. Red Note is the popular app that resembles most my ideal media timeline. Miniatures in a masonry layout with titles, but not interaction buttons or post content, only show in the single post view.
