Is there any way to get the infinite scrolling like on reddit?

On reddit, with the reddit enhancement suite extension, you don't have the next button since it just loads up the next page right below. This lets you keep scrolling and scrolling. Is there anything like that for lemmy?

I don't like infinite scrolling. It's resource heavy after a while.

I paid for 32 gigs of RAM, I'm gonna USE 32 gigs of RAM, damnit!

Agreed. It also makes interacting with the footer or any other content that follows difficult/impossible.

This is why I'm eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. I'm still trying to swipe left to hide posts :)

This is actually false. Browsers have very good garbage/memory management, and will work perfectly fine with loading infinite amounts of data to the page.

The issue is absolutely horrible coding from frontend devs that causes bloat which the browser doesn't clean off due to static references.
