I support doing something with the mobile topic progress widget during the time the next batch is loading. It sound like a reasonable refinement but I am not sure if a full hide is what we are after.

Hiding the full timeline would be an anti pattern cause stuff would bounce.

@design any thoughts?

Clearly not something we need to rush to change but may be an interesting thing to refine.
