    All I want to know is: will this push companies to rethink infinite scroll? Like, even to make it a toggleable option.

    I really appreciate that Lemmy still has distinct pages. “I’ll stop at the end of this page” is the easiest way to quit a social media session, which is why most companies have eliminated it.

      I find it annoying and prefer my mobile app’s infinite scroll. I just rarely look at all, and my curated list of subscriptions run dry after a few minutes anyway.

      The same was true on Reddit. The right way to use link aggregators, imo, is to curate a feed to minimize noise, and quit when you run out.
