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.
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.
