To make a infinite scroll for mobile and web users. To make content eaiser and more enjoyable.

Creating a scrolling feature like TikTok involves combining various components, including a video player, content feed, and user interface elements. To implement a scrolling feature similar to Youtube or TikTok or Reddit

It would scroll through tags requested by user and has a like favorite and comment button similar to reddit.

I've been coding something like this on my other website so I could give a basic element or blueprint in html to get this started. If possible.

Thanks for your time.

This sounds like something that would be better to make yourself using the API

Please let us have one website that isn't fucking "like TikTok".

Infinite scrolling is the bane of the modern web.

Fuck no! This suggestion will make the world just a little bit worse by feeding into doomscrolling addictions.

But, By creating/implementing a scroll feture not only will it make it eaiser UI for many, it also makes people engage more on the site. Due to monetization I think it would be better for the devs to add this because I have no idea how to implement that and secondly it would be a win-win situation for the site and the users. Many apps have added this feature so I think it would be best if Y'all did too.

And secondly it would be the user's responsibility.

RE621 (topic #25872) actually has an infinite scroll feature, if you want one that much. I personally don't like that feature, though; nothing wrong with pages of content, and that way there's way less Javascript.

Infinite scroll seems more like a way to get users to mindlessly browse your website, and personally I don't think it really adds much value on an archive style website such as e621. The main reason why so much social media has implemented the infinite scrolling is not really because it helps the users, but more because it can help retain users for longer, so they can be shown more ads and make the platform more money.

Breaking links, making you reload all that every time, taking minutes or hours to get back to it, acting like a slot machine with incremental 'hits', annoying power users like you who they don't want, anyways. Perfect win all around! (Joke)

Weirdly, I noticed a lot of sites that have infinite scrolling show the same number of ads if you keep scrolling. I guess they get it back on the click-through onto the next article/search or whatever. Time spent with an ad not even visible seems like it would be a useless metric except to people trying to game the advertisers' wallets. Borderline clickfraud.

If it wasn't already implemented, it's kind of trivial to make a client do it using the database export, without touching the API constantly. There comes a point where it is less effort for the server to just have it cached. Just wouldn't be smart to try to download the entire damn DB every time you update, instead of incrementally. You'd still be downloading thumbnails.

Yeah it would be stressful on the artists ends because with infinite scrolling artists work is way easier to consume.
