Infinite scroll, for example, makes it easy to lose your reading progress with a simple refresh/reload. Paged UIs, on the other hand, don’t have that problem.

- creshal 3y agoReddit is especially obnoxious because the sorting algorithms are extremely volatile, and if you do scroll too far, you'll never find that particular piece of content again. Infinite scrolling in Twitter etc. is much less obnoxious.
- sedatk 3y ago> Infinite scrolling in Twitter etc. is much less obnoxious. Yes, Twitter's much better on that aspect, partly because how different its design is, and partly because how they handle browsing mechanics.
- mcmoor 3y agoI'm not even sure if it's 3PA only feature but there's option to hide all posts that you've read (or scrolled past). After finding that feature now i want it everywhere there's infinite scroll because yeah otherwise it's unusable.
- sedatk 3y agoThat feature's way less useful when you don't read each and every post in sequential order. Also sometimes I want to go back and look at something I've already read. That makes it complicated too.
