What does that have to do with anything? Besides it gives a hundred of stuff I did not sign up for,
What? It’s just a front-end for Lemmy. It has infinite scroll built-in, which seems to solve what you’re looking for.
But, but…Infinite > “hundred of stuff”
You can do that if you use pretty much any app client and not the webpage.
Because having to go to the next page every few posts is a ‘stopping cue’. As I understand it, lemmy tries to avoid design patterns that lead to doom scrolling and addictive behaviour; so having a shorter post count per page let’s you stop after a few minutes instead of wasting an hour without noticing.
I get the good intention but I feel it’s a bit patronizing.
It doesnt stop you from doom scrolling if you want, also there are enough clients who show more results at a time. Lemmy doesnt enforce this, so it’s not really patronising imo. It’s just the default behaviour which you can choose to ignore if you want to.
I do 3/4 pages at most having to click next.
Hardly doom scrolling.
I can live with it, and not complaining personally even if I would rather see it changed because It’s annoying and doesn’t prevent anything IMO.
