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?
Try 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.

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?
What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren’t you basically telling OP “you shouldn’t want that”?
I thought I was jovially expressing confusion but that clearly didn’t come across (and admittedly re-reading it, I agree, I misjudged the tone, it’s not my best comment).
I really didn’t realise that anyone actually liked infinite scrolling and hoped that somebody would explain it to me.
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.
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 buttom
This 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.
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.
It 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.
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
https://vger.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.

How not to answer and make someone feel bad at the same time.
That wasn’t my intention.
What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren’t you basically telling OP “you shouldn’t want that”?
Well they can have that opinion. If someone ask a what spoon is best to chase the dragon maybe some people will reply maybe you should find a way out
I thought I was jovially expressing confusion but that clearly didn’t come across (and admittedly re-reading it, I agree, I misjudged the tone, it’s not my best comment).
I really didn’t realise that anyone actually liked infinite scrolling and hoped that somebody would explain it to me.
I see. That does change the tone I read it in when I know the intent.
Personally, I find infinite scrolling makes browsing on my phone with only one hand considerably easier.
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!
In RiF I turned pages back on as I found it helped me

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
Is it the same as https://m.lemmy.world or it has serious differences?
It looks like the main difference is that Voyager supports multiple servers.
It 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.
kbin has infinite scroll. See the settings on https://kbin.social/
This is the way.
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 kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.
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 don’t like infinite scrolling. It’s resource heavy after a while.
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
Agreed. It also makes interacting with the footer or any other content that follows difficult/impossible.
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.
I paid for 32 gigs of RAM, I’m gonna USE 32 gigs of RAM, damnit!
How is that answering the question of OP ?
I like sharing my opinion on here.
use wefwef (Voyager) because of the scroll
I’ve been using mlmym.org. Gives a very similar experience to old.reddit + RES.
