We've made some quite large updates today, most of which shouldn't have much impact on the frontend.
The core of it, is that we have reworked how we generate listings. This means that we can (and have) also reworked how we handle pagination (going to next and previous page), as well as other things such as excluding content that you've hidden, or from users that you've blocked, or that you've already upvoted (optionally).
While hiding content was previously possible, it wasn't viable to fill in the gaps with additional content. If you had hidden all 25 posts on the front page and refreshed, your front page wouldn't be filled with fresh content. It'd be empty.
We haven't yet made any changes to better support excluding content, but we will be doing so shortly.
The biggest change in this batch is that we now have endless scrolling, which is enabled by default on both mobile and desktop. This is in large part thanks to u/happyfave. There is a setting that can be toggled off, in case you don't like this behavior.
Additionally, pagination on the main listings (hot/new/rising/top) is now handled not by pages but by post IDs, which is another highly requested change.
The main improvements that motivated this rework will be coming soon.
Other changes unrelated to this rework include banned users being no longer able to private message anyone except moderators --- yep, this should have always been the case.
Please leave feedback, suggestions, and bug reports in the comments.
YUUUUUUUUUGE thank you to u/doggos who personally implements ALL of the changes/updates you guys see here at thedonald.win.
also a YUUGE shoutout to all you pedes filling this place up with quality content. YOU ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY BABE u/doggos!
Any way we can make the upvote arrow bigger on mobile? I find my self struggling to upvote and hitting the down vote instead ;(
Or just separate them by a few more pixels would work :)
Lol not gonna lie, I’ve accidentally downvoted a lot of ppl, only to go back keep tapping the screen til it’s orange 😆
Why is this still not a thing?
WE LOVE OUR MODS!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
MODS MODS MODS MODS hnnnnnnnngggggg
We have the best personally implemented changes/updates, don't we? Don't we have the best personally implemented changes/updates? We have the best personally implemented changes/updates. Enhancements!
Doggos got endless scrolling enabled?!
FUCK YEAH 🎉🎈🎊
Also, giant thank you to u/happyfave !
I’ve been begging for this for quite some time, so happy to see we have it now!
You guys are doing a fantastic job here. Thank you, sincerely.
Spez: I noticed the pagination change you made on the fly. I said, oh this is awesome.
Agreed. I also noticed and think it is outstanding.
I just noticed the infinite scrolling a few minutes ago. Its amazing. Thanks for the hard work.
Seriously this is a game changer for me. Endless scrolling gives me a much better feel for how tD and it’s content are shaping each day. And it makes modding much easier.
Today is a good day! 😊
MODS = GODS
lol they legit are tho
honestly, the only thing im lacking right now is trump rallies 😫
(but on a serious note, thank you for asking. we are all doing pretty okay (thankfully) hope you guys are doing okay as well!)
Mrs. Independentbystander is working from home 9-5 M-F and getting bonus pay for it (I'm not boasting, I mean I am very grateful that her company cares enough for her to send her home to keep her well, and consider her essential enough to keep working.)
They sent her main work-setup stuff home with her, so she is taking care of customers via phone/computer in her jammies and petting kitties while she works! It's adorable <3 <3 <3
>For all those not so fortunate, I am very glad to hear that Our President and Mnuchin are working to get all of Our Citizens and small-businesses some temporary financial aid/debt relief and other help as quickly as possible. They are doing a great job so far of handling this unprecedented situation!
<3 <3 <3
Things are better than expected here, (as is the case so far with many people) none of my friends/extended family have caught the coof, no cases in my area and very few at all in my Flyover State. Yay!
Trump needs to get on Twitch and do a rally.
not much changed for me actually.
but that’s probably bc i work in manufacturing. no signs of stopping or being quarantined so far.
the gf went to the store and stocked us up on food and cleaning products. So we’re ready if shit goes sideways.
wishing for the best for everyone right now, and that we all go back to work soon.
I don't give a shit what you did recently - you basically had a cure for a disease that no one knew was coming. You Mods are heroes for ever in my book.
THIS!!! These people have done a very impressive job of anticipating and implementing Plan B. <3 <3 <3
Haven't seen mentioned but I like to save comments as well. If I'm mistaken and this has been addressed, or why not feasible, I've missed it. Love the huge progress here and I'm sharing my ass off. Friends are getting on that weren't even reddit users. Love it! Thank you so much, friends.
Yep, comment saving will be coming.
Hey Doggos, you may not always hear this, BUT WE FUCKING LOVE YOU TO DEATH AND BACK!!!!
love you!
ENDLESS SCROLLING IS A GAME CHANGER LIKE CHLOROQUINE
BUT AFTER YOU ADD A COMMENT AND GO BACK IT TAKES YOU UP TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE
Yep. If this could be fixed, that would be great. Thank you team!
Yes, especially when you are 3-4 pages of endless scroll in, having to start reading again from stickied posts at the top everytime is not ideal. It would be great if we could go back to where we left off reading from when we hit back button.
Endless scrolling. Mmmmmm. ♥
IMPRESSIVE LENGTH
Thank you so much for making this site!
Thanks for all the efforts. It's great to be able to say "Chinese Flu" without the fear of being perma-banned.
You guys are killing it! I was a long time mainly lurker on Reddit but have felt a lot more open to talk here.
With so this virus lockdown I can't say enough about how helpful this site has been. I live alone and with friends all cut off and hiding inside and closest family hundreds of miles away, being able to come here and find others that value intelligence, common sense, and of course winning has been invaluable.
<3 <3 <3
Logic, evidence and reason FTW!!!
We need to make a truth website kinda like this site(where we escaped censorship)(and is run by patriots...there were many patriot developers that were looking to help the mods here, maybe a couple of them can take on this task)(the mods here don't take donations, but maybe pedes would donate to any developers willing to create the website), that posts pictures of current website along with an archive version showing what has been erased from the website, exposing the censoring operation.
Examples showing what reddit once was, vs what it is now. Aka supporting Ron Paul long time ago, how it censured the pulse shooting. How the politics sub turned pro Hilary overnight. How wikipedia censoring info they deem unworthy. Urban dictionary recently censure conservative words. And many more examples that I can't think of right now
You want a before/after .com?
Something like that.
Thank you!
DOGGOS = GODDOS!
Does anyone know what max number of saved posts is? I think the max was 1000 on reddit.
No limit at this time.
That's great. Thanks.
Cheers Doggos.
Is .win entirely nodejs/mongodb? If you dont answer ill honk your horn
Nope
Lol
Fucking love you, pede.
Will it be possible open youtube videos in the youtube app on mobile? because I wanted to save some youtube videos to my youtube account.
If on iOS, you can usually use something like the app Opener using the share sheet. Maybe the developers can add a setting for native functionality though.
Thanks y'all <3
Y’all are amazing.
They truly, truly are!
I feel useless to help, being a tech moron and all...so I try to do my small part by sharing, sharing, sharing! "Links, memes, word of mouth." <<< That's my mantra.
Don't we have thew best mods?
Yes. We have the best people, don’t we folks?
Very best! Believe me!
You Mods are Gods. When will we know how many of us are here? Soon, we hope?
Thank you pedes
It's great to see how far this site has come since it was first opened. Huge thanks to the mods and all others who have put in the work!
I can't imagine handling the magnitude of complexity a project like this requires. It really is impressive! <3 <3 <3
Scrolling is great!!!!!!!
Thank you mods !!
Is something going to be done with the terrible format for posting submissions, ie where you can only see the first 10 or so words of the Title you want to post??As it directly affects the quality of posts.Why are you still following Reddits terrible format they forced on T_D of not pinning high volume posts to crack down on the rampant shilling/concern trolling & brigading?
Is this an issue you have on mobile, desktop, or both?
The submission page is on the list for a revamp, but I'm not familiar with your specific issue.
I'm using a desktop with Win10/Firefox and it's all working perfectly for me so far. (I'm sure it must be challenging to make this project work for so many different devices with so many variables) You guys are kicking ass!!! <3 <3 <3
On my Lap Top as l only get a chance to get on while taking a break from the business paper work or traveling on business trips, another user posted on it a while ago as well ,until then l was going to delete & re upload as l thought it may have been a glitch in initial set up as l joined on first day.
Why are we not Pinning High Volume controversial/shill magnet posts as it is obviously out of control & such a efficient tool to use on other sites l have modded on?I thought from memory it was only reddit admin that stopped it to screw T_D over by encouraging shills & brigading
Do you have an issue, on mobile, or desktop, or what, motherfucker? Please understand devs non-stop convert real life problems to concrete code, your entire comment is beyond bullshit, AFAIC. Do you have an issue or not?
No one gives a fuck what a moron like you thinks, you would be aware of this by the fact by how everyone treats you as the retard you are.
Ex Marine/software developer here.
You're still lost? Can't answer whether you have an issue and what it is?
Did you want a blankie and a pacifier to go?
Or is blanket/pacifier also an issue you refuse to comprehend due to sub-average brain cell count? Please respond, very interested in what your 2 brain cells produce as a response
I am a Veteran & the fact you have to throw out randomly you served to try to empower your argument shows what a retard and pathetic moron you are & a embarrassment to the uniform , that's why you are a failure in life now you cowardly moron.
If a " Ex Marine/software developer here" can not workout that Lap Top use indicates desk top not on mobile/phone. Or understand a plainly explained problem of -
" ie where you can only see the first 10 or so words of the Title you want to post"
You have successfully reinforced what a pathetic moron you are & nothing but cowardly Key Board warrior you are ,go back to shoving markers up your ass while watching anime fuck stick .Like everyone who knows you, l will not be wasting anymore time on a coward & retard like you.
Infinite scroll is sick af! Only gripe is if I enter a post and go back to the list it doesn't bring me back where I left off. This gives me the opportunity to revisit awesome threads again on the way back down, so maybe it's a feature, can't tell.
Smoooooth!
The scrolling change is excellent
WOW - I love endless scrolling!
Mods == Gods
Viva Mods!
THIS!!! <3 <3 <3
How do you guys have time for this? Wow
Can the infinite scroll return to the same location when clicking into something then hitting the back button? I’m on mobile with DuckDuckGo browser and upon returning to the main feed I’m returned to the top and have to scroll again.
Also - AWESOME site. I’m so happy this site was created.
Thank you! The "next" button on any site triggered me faster than a liberal finding out Crowder was on their campus
Our mods are winners. The best people. Wonderful people.
Endless scrolling!!!! Yes!! I was going to suggest an option in settings to display 50 or 100 posts per page, but I guess this fixes that.
Keep up the good work - you rock.
Thank you, Doggos!! Chance to not show upvoted posts, or did I miss this?
We've not added this setting yet, but the changes today are in preparation for that. Probably not tomorrow, but very soon.
Super cool you. 8)
Guys, can we get the "Tab defaults to submit" functionality also added to the edit screen?
It sucks hitting tab-space and losing everything (especially since it wipes out all your edits too).
Hmmm, figured it already was, but added it to the list.
Are we going to get a "No Trolling" rule so we can deport people who are obvious troll shills?
I've been using Rule 1 to deport the obvious ones. So far - so good!
Thank you for everything you do doggos
Can I make a suggestion: can you make it so that CTRL + ENTER in the comment box submits the comment? It's something that I use so often on Reddit (mainly on the redesign) and I think it'd be a good idea here.
It's probably easy to implement in JS, but I don't know how this is actually coded so I can't really help here.
Thanks!
Sure, added to list.
THE "PARENT" FEATURE!! It's hard as heck sometimes to see what somebody's comment is in response to.
^this
Thank you for putting in the time and effort
Looks good. The endless front page is 👍👍
Infinite scroll ftw!
Endless scrolling!! I used to tell myself “OK two more pages then you can the kids breakfast.” Now the kids will have to wait until lunch...
Thank you BASED mods!
best mods and best developers!
Just noticed the endless scrolling!! WOOHOOO!!! THANK YOU, MODS!!!
Discovered the endless scrolling before opening this thread. It's great and thank you!
oh god endless scrolling... Thank you for the setting to turn this off. I like having my front page stop.
