Endless Content
Loforo now has endless scrolling for the /everyone page as well as every user's blog.
More pages will automatically load as you get near the bottom of a page so scroll away!

How is this implemented? On soups where this feature was activated it sooner or later crashed the browser or failed to load new posts and reloading came with a good chance to lose the progress. Somebody made a "dig in my soup" plugin that helped but it broke eventually. Btw, can we have that too?
@artifex We've tried to be pretty efficient with how it was coded. I think if you scroll far enough your browser may eventually struggle but I haven't noticed issues scrolling through 20+ pages even on my phone.
Not sure what the "dig in my soup" is, what did it do?
It created a drop down menu that allowed to jump to
specific positions: Yesterday, the day before, three days ago, then month/year combos and first post.
This worked with endless scrolling if I remember correctly, The jump was like a soup starting with that page and then scrolling endlessly from that point on.
Note, that it worked this way because it had to use what soup provided. If this becomes a functionality of loforo it would be great if you provide a little bit more control over this, like the option to set custom anchors to jump to.

@artifex Oh that's interesting. We may offer a way to jump around in the future. Right now you can type '?page=10' or a whatever page number at the end of your blog/everyone page to start at different pages (endless scrolling will continue from that page)
Also note that while you scroll we update the URL in your browser location dynamically if you want to return to that same position.
Oh, that's nice! I didn't notice that the URL is adjusted.
Pagination is wonderful! I really disliked soup's lack thereof :)
