one nice thing about ETI is images aren’t loaded until you scroll to them. at first glance it seems like a ‘greedy’ move that only comes with a fringe benefit of plausibly reducing hosting costs, but if you open a thread that has a lot of images in it, the page starts vertically stretching further and further as images load in
an acceptable alternative, or perhaps in addition to only loading images in when you actually scroll to them, would be to read the image meta data and immediately generate that level of vertical height for the post, so like, even if the image isn’t loading, as soon as you load into a page of a thread, the scrollbar is accurate and you can more easily get to the posts you want to see without having to wait for all of the images to load, then wait for the page to finish stretching, then continue scrolling past that stuff
also adding pages was a great move that made threads much more easily digestable, is it possible to paginate filtered posts in the same way
