I’m not 100% sure if this is the same behavior in the normal themes, but I’m using the sidebar as you can see.

I stopped moving my mousewheel once I had gone down one page, the rest was done without me doing anything.

Hello! Can you please share the link to that post so anyone can see if the behavior is reproducible?

The example was here;

> For [several years now we’ve tracked](http://discuss.emberjs.com/t/why-is-ember-3x-5x-slower-on-android/6577) the fact that, over time from 2012 onward, Android JavaScript performance has become wildly divergent from iOS JavaScript performance. And not in a good way. To give you an idea of how divergent it has become, try: [http://emberperf.eviltrout.com](http://emberperf.eviltrout.com) Complex list Ember 1.11 This is the benchmark most representative of Discourse performance, and the absolute best known Android score for this benchmark is right at ~400ms on a Samsung Galaxy S6. That doesn’t seem …

Is this consistently reproducible? What browser / OS are you using? If you switch to a different browser does it still happen?

Here on Meta I noticed that when I scroll to the bottom of the topic list, and don’t touch my scroll wheel, infinite scrolling is triggered on repeat, causing a gazillion topics to be loaded. 📜

Ohh, I just noticed this only happens with the sidebar theme.

I’m on MacOS, Chrome 105

@david could this be related to any of the recent ember changes?

Would it be global then? I can only seem to see it on Meta.

I think this is probably the same I reported before: [Infinity loading issue on Focused Sidebar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/infinity-loading-issue-on-focused-sidebar/225386). It worked for me for while but now it seems to appeared again this issue. I think it is only on Focused Sidebar theme.
