Most (if not all?) #Fediverse clients (#Mastodon, #Miskey, #Sharkey, #Akoma, #IceShrimp,…) have an infinite scroll functionality, which is famously one of the big factors that makes social media addictive…

To be clear, I don’t blame the Fedi devs for this, they mostly followed the common approach other social media platforms that did add them with actual malice established, but this might be a good point in time to ask whether doing so was the right call.

Maybe a page mode, let’s say one page per day, or a similar well defined timeline (rather than number of posts) in the homefeed might be a good idea there? It might not even be necessary to remove infinite scroll, but maybe provide the paged option as the alternative (or even default).

Thoughts on this, anyone?

(Ping @sharkey, because that’s what I’m primarily on. 😉)

Phew... opentelemetry works great on my Iceshrimp.NET instance.
The grafana dashboard, I was working on, is pretty cool, too.

falls ihr gerade eine follow-anfrage oder ähnliches bekommt... ja das bin ich auf einer neuen instanz - diesmal probiere ich #IceShrimp aus.

Ich probiere hier ein wenig den #IceShrimp aus... ich werde in der nächsten Zeit vornehmich hier zu finden sein und wenn es mir dauerhaft gefällt, dann ziehe ich vollends hier hin um. ​​

xD
