Using a browser on desktop, is there a way to turn on infinite scrolling?

Also, is there a way to turn off the automatic post updating? It’s jarring to be scrolling around the middle and have the posts suddenly run away because something was added at the top of the page.

Any other quality of life changes that people know about would be greatly appreciated. I come from using the Reddit Enhancement Suite which has to be the most streamlined UI I’ve seen for any social media website out there, but I would love to get away from Reddit (after 14 years!) and to somewhere less corporate. Lemmy.world seems pretty promising so far, puts me in mind of the old days of Reddit when things were much fresher and more transparent. It’s sucked watching Reddit slowly degrade over time; they learned from Digg’s mistake and have been boiling their users like frogs over the course of years. This latest move has been their biggest misstep, but its only one of many, and of many yet to come.

    Gotcha, you’re probably right. Still getting used to the federated stuff, makes it tricky to tell what comments might be referring to what all the time.

    Unfortunately, I like the way you can “open” picture links by clicking the thumbnail without opening the actual link like on Lemmy, but I also like the infinite scroll that’s on kbin. Maybe there will be a way to have both one day…

      Yeah, I getcha. I’ve been taking a closer look at Kbin and there are some elements I like, but like Lemmy, there’s rough edges (e.g. inability to collapse comment threads, image viewing quirks, etc.) that make neither entirely ideal yet.

      Here’s to hoping both improve in their own ways!
