[META] Megathread for API questions? (lemmy.world)

Since the docs are horrible I think making a megathread here with Q&As and best practices for endpoints would be nice. Would've certainly helped me when I started out.

What do you guys think?

What's the exact problem with the pagination? Basically you set the page param to the page you want to receive. The amount of pages is unknown to the client, you just know how many per Page you receive (the limit).

However, I'd recommend to make infinite scrollers anyway.

i'm just unsure how to actually correctly fetch the next set items in order to update display, whether for scrolling or paginating. for my client i just want to append at the bottom of the screen.
