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?
use wefwef (Voyager) because of the scroll
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!
I don’t like infinite scrolling. It’s resource heavy after a while.
How is that answering the question of OP ?
I like sharing my opinion on here.
Agreed. It also makes interacting with the footer or any other content that follows difficult/impossible.
I paid for 32 gigs of RAM, I’m gonna USE 32 gigs of RAM, damnit!
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.
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.
I haven’t used any of the apps yet, so haven’t paid attention - what made then change the name?
The app developer wanted a new and more serious name for the app and Voyager got the most support on a handful of community posts.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks
Vger.app
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
This is in the works: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/878. You can also try another web interface like https://wefwef.app/
I’ve been using mlmym.org. Gives a very similar experience to old.reddit + RES.
This is kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.
kbin has infinite scroll. See the settings on https://kbin.social/
This is the way.
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.
Why would anyone want that? I always thought that was just an addiction trap for commercial sites to trick you in to browsing for longer - we’ve broken free from that kind of BS here haven’t we?
Why do you X? It’s so Y.
How not to answer and make someone feel bad at the same time.
That wasn’t my intention.
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.
