I’m asking for this in a few different communities for lemmy apps because I’d really appreciate the feature, I hope this isn’t seen as spam.

Pagination adds points of resistance during use and allows for a natural stopping point that can give one the clarity of mind to limit app use to a healthy amount. I understand that the normal web client is like this, but it would be nice to have the option in app form as well.

There are also accessability reasons to consider this, as outlined in this article.

On a personal note, infinite scrolling gives me anxiety, and can be a problem for those with other mental health disorders as is also outlined in the aforementioned article.

Thanks for reading.

    I agree, this is the only layout feature from the website I prefer. Everything else feels efficient and convenient, but the infinite scrolling feels addictive. Whereas the pagination as you mentioned has comfortable end points to the scrolling scroll.
