Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

[Suggestion] Paginated Feed Option (lemmy.ca)

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 would definitely be for an option like this. You summed up my scrolling behavior in a nice lil nutshell. I'll scroll and scroll and scroll, not even knowing what i'm expecting to see, until it's 3 in the morning or later. It's not good for me and I would like an option to help me get that under control.
