Usually when I’m scrolling, the feed will have posts added to the bottom. Sometimes however, I’ll get to the bottom of the feed and there are no more posts. Sometimes if I drag up the posts up, more posts will then appear. Sometimes if I scroll up a bit and then back down, more posts will appear. However, sometimes neither scrolling up a bit and then back down nor dragging the posts up makes more posts appear.

How is this supposed to work? Why do more posts sometimes not appear? It’s quite infuriating. And what makes it more infuriating is not understanding what the program is supposed to be doing.

Thanks.

    Sometimes it starts loading more when I scroll some way up and then back down. My guess is, the app is very prone to “network errors” and when it encounters one while scrolling, it gives up.

    It’s not the only app or website with this problem… Damn scripts.

    But I think there’s also something about Lemmy here. For example, when browsing “top/hour” posts, at some point it stops loading as if there’s a hard limit.

      With top/hour there obviously is a hard limit. You’ve reached the end of the posts made in the last hour. That’s not the fault of Lemmy or the app. That’s just the expected behaviour.

        It works differently on top/day, and top/6 or 12 hours have other differences still, like how they handle showing seen posts and such. It’s not consistent so you can hardly say what is expected. I’m not filing bugs because it’s not the end of the world and devs have other things to do, but yea it is odd.
