scroll-or-pages.txt
I have a long list of <what>, roughly <n> items, and users are trying
to <browse / find something specific / catch up on what's new>.

Recommend infinite scroll, "load more", or numbered pages. Pick one
and defend it against the others for my specific case.

Consider: can someone link to or return to a specific position? Can
they reach the footer? What happens on a slow connection? What happens
when they press back?

Then implement it, including the state in the URL so refreshing and
sharing work.

Infinite scroll makes the footer unreachable and the back button hostile. It suits feeds; it's actively bad for anything people search.
