Feature request: option to disable infinite scrolling (self.boostforlemmy)

Probably unpopular opinion, but recently i found infinite scrolling being very addictive. I would like to scroll about 50 posts (might be customizable), then click a button to load more, like in Voyager.

I built a task in Automate to set a timer everytime I open the app, and it reminds after so long.

I could set it to automatically close the app, too, but that felt a bit forced and more of an annoyance when I was in the middle of an article.

I still think your suggestion is more user friendly, though, just thought I'd share my personal solution

I've set up Android to close and block the app after 30 minutes of use. It's forceful but if it weren't, I'd completely ignore it
