Probably infinite scrolling in jerboa, as its a very harmful psychogical anti-pattern. Now that I've added it, people have been extremely resistent to my insistence that it should be done away with.
I didn't realize that you developes jerboa too! Thanks for not branding it something like "the official lemmy mobile client"
I use jeroba and I would at least love the option to turn off infinite scroll
This feels like a good solution. Perhaps make it the default on new installations?
I would love the option to disable infinite scrolling, I really hate it as a feature because I noticeably spend more time on a platform, feels very bad for my little brain. I'm happy to read that it is at least something you think about, great work anyhow.
Would also appreciate this as an opt-in/toggleable feature.
After it being the standard for social media for so long, it's tiresome. Same mentality as those Clicker games
I mean there are people who probably will not develop an addiction because of this (due to stuff like good self regulation skills), a lot of things can be addictive but also be good (like social media), maybe it is better to add features that help regulate behavior like a notification after a amount of time has passed set by the user (or just suggesting a link to a open source app that does this).
