Disable unlimited loading of the topic list
The discussion revolves around disabling infinite scrolling in the topic list. sheng_hualuo proposes adding a “See more” button after a certain number of topics, citing the issue of the footer being invisible. pfaffman counters that many popular sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, use infinite scrolling without issues. Jagster suggests a middle ground, wondering if a semi-sticky footer is feasible. However, merefield points out that a floating footer can be implemented using the “above-footer” connector, providing an example of a working implementation: https://community.sheerluxe.com/.
Have I understood your question correctly?
You want to disable infinite scroll?
Yes, because infinite scrolling will make the footer invisible to the user unless they go through another page or load all the subject lines
Perhaps you have heard of Facebook, Twitter and linkedIn. They are very popular sites that also use infinite scrolling. They seem to be doing well without footers.
This topic comes up a few times a year but in the past decade no one has chosen to spend money to disable infinite scrolling.
I’m totally happy with infinite scrolling and eveverything that normally are in footer can be shown otherwise.
But I just wonder if there is somekind middleground, because it is so much wanted. I mean we have sticky/semi-sticky headers, is similar thing with footer difficult?
I would dis-like such one, though.

You can have a floating footer above using the “above-footer” connector whilst the infinite scroll happens underneath.
