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.
