Solved this years ago but no one cared. You create a Merkle tree of your post hashes, as a catalog for your account. The posts can still be individual, but the tree serves as a guide for if anything is missing. You don’t need a chain. Problem is, two devices trying to update the tree (or your chain idea) at once may have a conflict — or during a partition among relays etc — so UI would be needed for fixing the tree. Gets a bit tricky due to many devices due to the CAP theorem.

Are there any other protocols doing it the merkle tree way? Bluesky, pubky, matrix, ...? Or what do they do all they do?
