On reddit, with the reddit enhancement suite extension, you don’t have the next button since it just loads up the next page right below. This lets you keep scrolling and scrolling. Is there anything like that for lemmy?
I don’t like infinite scrolling. It’s resource heavy after a while.
This is why I’m eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. I’m still trying to swipe left to hide posts :)
Both Sync and Boost will be a godsend
This is actually false. Browsers have very good garbage/memory management, and will work perfectly fine with loading infinite amounts of data to the page.
The issue is absolutely horrible coding from frontend devs that causes bloat which the browser doesn’t clean off due to static references.
How is that answering the question of OP ?
I like sharing my opinion on here.
Connect for Lemmy (android) does infinite scrolling pretty well.
Yes I’ve noticed it’s pretty good at wasting a lot of my time lol
That’s why I was hesitant to introduce it to Summit. But it’s what people want so I did add this eventually
I use https://mlmym.org/lemm.ee/post/1199480, looks like old reddit, has night mode, and endless scroll, just like the good old days before that stupid new reddit shit.
Ok this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I love the look of old reddit as it’s so compact. Thanks!
I wonder if this can become an official theme for Lemmy that can be selected!
Just for reference, Voyager is the new name for the app that used to be called wefwef. As such, wefwef.app and vger.app are both pointing to the same thing.
Try wefwef.app
I don’t see any difference between them
Voyager is the new app name for wefwef, hosted as the url I posted. Same app, not sure if the old url redirects or what.
In RiF I turned pages back on as I found it helped me
be more productive. Websites scrolling is additive and like addictions can be unhealthy. Having that natural pause every 25links allows an out to asses if have more time or need to eat or g do somthing else or take 1s to click a buttomThis is 100% why I initially designed Summit to be page based. Infinity scrolling is awesome if your intent is to suck people in. But I’m not a corporation trying to maximize profits so I would much rather help people manage their time.
Try Liftoff for Lemmy, not sure it has a Google Playstore page, but it is in FDroid. The best FDroid client (in my opinion) is Neostore, so check that out if you’re looking to check it. [ https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store ]
For PC, others have already listed several alternatives.
