[Feature Request] Timeline Pagination
There was a similar issue created a few years ago issue 667, but I don't think it was adding the feature I am requesting. I would like the ability to toggle between infinite scroll mode and static pages for my user timeline(s). I asked the admin of the instance I'm on (cdrom.tokyo) and he said the feature was not there for him to impliment, so I should go make an issue on the project page requesting it.
Aside from not liking infinite scroll, almost on principle, and wanting variety and options, the main motivation for me has been to better facilitate mobile use. I prefer to engage with my instance via a standard web browser (like Bromite for Android), since apps like Fedilab or Husky can't mimic the unique aesthetic of cdrom.tokyo (and they don't have tabs like a browser does). But, it is often very unfriendly, performance-wise, and gets worse with length of use, mainly due to scrolling down, to the point of it being exactly unusable (text input taking 4-16 times to complete or the tab just giving up and crashing).
If I could switch to using pages, then I wouldn't have to worry about accumulating an ever-growing amount of web elements that will slow my engagement to a crawl and can just worry about general optimization and stability issues.
Anyway, I hope this is possible. And, at this point, I'm not too concerned about the specifics of how it would be implimented (does Page 1 start from the bottom/oldest or the top/newest?, for instance).
Thanks for this great software!
