Vladimir ChickenI fucking hated #InfiniteScroll as soon as I saw it. Nice to see Meta and Google compared to tobacco firms. I'm pretty sure its even some of the same people.
FinchHaven sfbaIt's how the Internet works -- it's not instantaneous, constantly
If you're offline for five hours and you start up your "app" which "page" does your app pull down from across the entire Fediverse first?
The oldest pages you're missing?
Or the very newest pages you're missing?
150 of the oldest pages, or 25 of the newest pages?
And then "show" them to you, starting where?

Last month I teased a new interface for the /world page, a feed-style interface that attempts to straddle the line between microblog content and threaded content.
That interface is actually live on both community.nodebb.org and ActivityPub.space, so it's possible to try them out today.
Since it's a feed, it does take longer to scroll through than a traditional topic listing.
SammiejMost social media platforms design feeds to be endless.
We made reaching the end the goal.
You see posts from friends in chronological order.
When you're caught up, you see: "All caught up! 🎉"
Then the feed ends.
You can close the app and go live your life.
