Is there something like infinite scrolling on Lemmy?
I mostly use Lemmy on mobile but I sometimes browse it with my desktop browser.
I'm surprised to not see a way to scroll to the next page automatically. Is there a switch somewhere or an extension / script I can install?
Thank you for your feedback
I can't pinpoint to the specific post, but I do recall not too long ago @dessalines@lemmy.ml expressing his feelings about infinite scrolling. Long story short - it's a deliberate design decision to not be addictive.
22Thank you for your quick answer, I understand! If that's something deliberate I'll abide and that'll do.
Have a nice day!
10Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I'd hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.
I already spend too much time online, so ... I'm with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.

The alexandrite interface has infinite scrolling. Default lemmy-ui doesn't.
11You could register on another instance that provides alternative interfaces for Lemmy, similar to how reddit has old.reddit.com and new.reddit.com
Dbzer0 has a few: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3234456
- Tesseract
- Alexandrite
- Photon
- Mlmym
Lemmy.world also has a few: https://lemmy.world/post/2878694, https://lemmy.world/post/1941511, https://lemmy.world/post/1303201, https://lemmy.world/post/2878694
- Voyager
- Alexandrite
- Photon
- Mlmym
6Or just go to these alternative interfaces directly and log into any instance:
- Voyager: vger.app
- Alexandrite: alexandrite.app
- Photon: phtn.app
There are several instances of Mlmym (yes, instances of a UI!). Here's one: lemmy.bolha.one. Tesseract you are supposed to self host, their github has a demo instance but you should probably look into hosting it yourself.
I love Alexandrite myself.

Well,
-
...but why!?
-
most apps do infinite scolling
1- laziness / Convienence of not having to click after every load
- thank you but I was referring to the desktop interface / browsing

I use Connect app on my Android. I don't use Lemmy desktop yet, as I dislike the UI a lot. Quality of life features, like infinite scroll, are missing because of personal believes, which I disagree with.
0Kbin has infinite scrolling and you can browse Lemmy from them, but one of the alternate suggestions here might be better for what you're after.
-1Indeed, duely noted though, thanks for your reply
