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.
Whoa. 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.
I had the same initial reaction

Well,
-
…but why!?
-
most apps do infinite scolling
- laziness / Convienence of not having to click after every load
- thank you but I was referring to the desktop interface / browsing
-
There is a script. I use it. Ill send you later.
Thank you, I’m sure it will help others as well!
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.
