The website uses pages instead of infinite scrolling. I guess that’s compliant then.

IIRC Dessalines (Lemmy and Jerboa frontend dev) once said to regret adding infinite scrolling, and the only reason he didn’t remove the feature is because people would rage. So odds are Jerboa will be one of the first to comply.
And… frankly? As much as I criticise Lemmy devs, I think Dessalines is right in this one.

Voyager (like Apollo before it) has the option to disable infinite scrolling, I won’t use a client with it

But why? I don’t mind infinite scrolling here. And an option to opt in/out and everybody’s happy I suppose.

The article explains why: because infinite scrolling makes it easier to keep scrolling, and harder to stop scrolling, and is one of the design choices that make a social media platform more addictive.
Whether you mind infinite scrolling or not isn’t the point. Just because you like the function doesn’t make it good for you.

I see how it can create problems for some, but OTOH I also don’t want some bureocrats tell me what’s good for me. I bet those are the same bunch that brought us infinite cookie warnings clicking.

I am so braindead I can’t even imagine how it would work without endless scrolling?

X amount of posts before it stops scrolling. Then you’d have a classic “next page” button like we used to.
Basically you add a conscious choice to keep going, and creating a much more natural stopping point.
