@vkc an interesting thing here is that, as someone maintaining their own client, infinite scroll is harder to implement than pagination (in a performant way, anyhow). at least for web clients you have to effectively build around infinite scrolling as opposed to it Just Being Another Feature (though neutering it afterwards isn't difficult)
there's something interesting around how despite being the harder option, infinite scroll is still a thing pretty much everyone does. not sure what to make of it
