      IIRC Dessalines (Lemmy and Jerboa frontend dev) once said to regret adding infinite scrolling, and the only reason he didn’t remove the feature is because people would rage. So odds are Jerboa will be one of the first to comply.

      And… frankly? As much as I criticise Lemmy devs, I think Dessalines is right in this one.
