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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah lemmy 0.19.3 doesnt have a back button.
Okay. But why do profiles still have both buttons and communities pages don’t?
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.
