Is there something like infinite scrolling on Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Thank you for your quick answer, I understand! If that's something deliberate I'll abide and that'll do.

Have a nice day!

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.
