Yes, this annoying endless-scrolling without pagination on reddit is the reason I still use old.reddit.com, even though I think the new one is overall prettier.

Yes, this annoying endless-scrolling without pagination on reddit is the reason I still use old.reddit.com, even though I think the new one is overall prettier. But you make one wrong click and you're completely lost, back at the top.
- Izkata 7y agoPagination also takes advantage of spatial memory, so it's far far easier for me to find something when pagination is available instead of just search/sort/infinite scroll. I've actually clicked 10+ pages back in gmail many times to find an email I could only vaguely remember, knowing roughly where in the history it should be, that I was completely unable to find with search due to a misremembered detail.
- colejohnson66 7y agoI don’t like infinite scrolling, but it does have one advantage IMO. It’s that everything you’ve seen is on the page, so, unless the page curls older entries, you can Ctrl-F what you want to find that you just saw.

- kgwxd 7y agoIf you have an account on reddit you can avoid having to use old.reddit.com if you turn off "Use new Reddit as my default experience" in preferences. Not sure how long it's going to last but I'm sure the "old" subdomain is going to stop working around the same time. Other useful options to uncheck: allow reddit to log my outbound clicks for personalization allow my data to be used for research purposes allow subreddits to show me custom themes show user flair show link flair
