Is there any way to get the infinite scrolling like on reddit?
Is there any way to get the infinite scrolling like on reddit?
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?
Connect for Lemmy (android) does infinite scrolling pretty well.
27Yes I've noticed it's pretty good at wasting a lot of my time lol
7That'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.
18I wonder if this can become an official theme for Lemmy that can be selected!
2Ok this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I love the look of old reddit as it's so compact. Thanks!

use wefwef (Voyager) because of the scroll
16Just 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.
15Is it the same as https://m.lemmy.world or it has serious differences?
3It looks like the main difference is that Voyager supports multiple servers.
2It looks like that's a Voyager instance. Voyager is open source, so Lemmy instances are free to host a Voyager instance as an alternate frontend. The main Voyager instance can support any Lemmy instance, but here it's only for lemmy.world.

I don't like infinite scrolling. It's resource heavy after a while.
12How is that answering the question of OP ?
14I like sharing my opinion on here.

I paid for 32 gigs of RAM, I'm gonna USE 32 gigs of RAM, damnit!
5Agreed. It also makes interacting with the footer or any other content that follows difficult/impossible.
4This is why I'm eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. I'm still trying to swipe left to hide posts :)
3Both 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.

Try wefwef.app
11I've been using mlmym.org. Gives a very similar experience to old.reddit + RES.
10This is in the works: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/878. You can also try another web interface like https://wefwef.app/
8Vger.app
8In 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 buttom7This 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.

This is kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.
4Try 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.
4kbin has infinite scroll. See the settings on https://kbin.social/
4This is the way.
