Doom scrolling is doomed, if the EU gets its way.

  • Piefed already uses paging
  • Lemmy already uses paging
  • Mbin already uses paging
  • NodeBB already has opt-in paging

The only threadiverse software that does not support paging is Discourse. Considering most people aren't even aware that one is federated to begin with, I doubt the threadiverse in particular is going to have any problem at all.

for posts, you're correct. for loading comments in a post, all these paginate?

[–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

You're right, I didn't think of that. Lemmy does seem to use infinite scrolling for comments, though I don't have an account, so I can't check if there's a setting to change that.

Mbin and NodeBB are the same as for posts though, Mbin uses paging by default, NodeBB has it opt-in. And Piefed doesn't let me sort by amount of comments, so can't check there.

why would it? There are limited replies to a single post, but there are potentially unlimited posts to doomscroll
