No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes I've noticed it's pretty good at wasting a lot of my time lol
That's why I was hesitant to introduce it to Summit. But it's what people want so I did add this eventually
I use https://mlmym.org/lemm.ee/post/1199480, looks like old reddit, has night mode, and endless scroll, just like the good old days before that stupid new reddit shit.
Ok this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I love the look of old reddit as it's so compact. Thanks!
I wonder if this can become an official theme for Lemmy that can be selected!
use wefwef (Voyager) because of the scroll
Just for reference, Voyager is the new name for the app that used to be called wefwef. As such, wefwef.app and vger.app are both pointing to the same thing.
I haven't used any of the apps yet, so haven't paid attention - what made then change the name?
The app developer wanted a new and more serious name for the app and Voyager got the most support on a handful of community posts.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks
Is it the same as https://m.lemmy.world or it has serious differences?
It looks like the main difference is that Voyager supports multiple servers.
It looks like that's a Voyager instance. Voyager is open source, so Lemmy instances are free to host a Voyager instance as an alternate frontend. The main Voyager instance can support any Lemmy instance, but here it's only for lemmy.world.
I don't like infinite scrolling. It's resource heavy after a while.
How is that answering the question of OP ?
I like sharing my opinion on here.
I paid for 32 gigs of RAM, I'm gonna USE 32 gigs of RAM, damnit!
Agreed. It also makes interacting with the footer or any other content that follows difficult/impossible.
This is why I'm eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. I'm still trying to swipe left to hide posts :)
Both Sync and Boost will be a godsend
This is actually false. Browsers have very good garbage/memory management, and will work perfectly fine with loading infinite amounts of data to the page.
The issue is absolutely horrible coding from frontend devs that causes bloat which the browser doesn't clean off due to static references.
Try wefwef.app
I don't see any difference between them
Voyager is the new app name for wefwef, hosted as the url I posted. Same app, not sure if the old url redirects or what.
I've been using mlmym.org. Gives a very similar experience to old.reddit + RES.
Vger.app
This is in the works: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/878. You can also try another web interface like https://wefwef.app/
In RiF I turned pages back on as I found it helped me
be more productive. Websites scrolling is additive and like addictions can be unhealthy. Having that natural pause every 25links allows an out to asses if have more time or need to eat or g do somthing else or take 1s to click a buttom
This is 100% why I initially designed Summit to be page based. Infinity scrolling is awesome if your intent is to suck people in. But I'm not a corporation trying to maximize profits so I would much rather help people manage their time.
This is kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.
Try Liftoff for Lemmy, not sure it has a Google Playstore page, but it is in FDroid. The best FDroid client (in my opinion) is Neostore, so check that out if you're looking to check it. [ https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store ]
For PC, others have already listed several alternatives.
