So Loops has public hashtag feeds, but they are limited for guests, and after reaching the end of the limited feed, will show this modal instead of what Pixelfed does (which is only show 20 posts per tag even though there are more).

I think it's a much better UX, and while I'd love to provide infinite scroll feeds for guests, it would be easily abused by (AI) crawlers.

Privacy and Safety come first 😎

@dansup this does feel like a dark pattern though

@dansup since all the posts can be seen through the API and AI has no problem grabbing posts thru the API this makes no sense as a reason for the login wall. This is a major anti-feature

@liaizon No it can’t, the API only returns a limited amount for guest users
