On communities pages you have a next page and previous page button. But since the 0.19.3 update. The previous page button is missing. Profiles still have both buttons.

I believe they changed how pages are handled. Before each page had a url with the page number in it, I.E. page=1, page=3, etc. Now they have a seemingly random string instead.

It's right next to the -- Wait. What the hell?

It's missing on Photon UI as well, I notice. I find that to be a mighty interesting observation, and thus I suspect that the underlying cause is the same for both UI's. What that cause is, I don't know enough about Lemmy's code to guess.

It disappeared on the web interface with the last Lemmy software update. I'm guessing they decided people just use the back button.

But profiles still have it.

photon dev here, this is what changed:

Lemmy switched from a simple "page" number to a "cursor". You can't tell what the previous cursor is easily, but you can tell with a page number. I thought it was more complicated than worth it to add back cursor handling because you can just use the back button.

I see. That makes sense.

Yeah lemmy 0.19.3 doesnt have a back button.

[–] hal_5700X 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Okay. But why do profiles still have both buttons and communities pages don't?

[–] Rooki 4 points 9 months ago

To be honest, the lemmy devs were to lazy to implement that on 0.19.3

I think there is the back button on 0.19.4.
