This explains why the Lemmy devs got rid of the "Previous" button: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4057
Lemmy 0.19 changed the way pages work to use "cursor-based pagination" because it is more efficient for the database. The url doesn't use
?page=3
anymore, it'll be like?page_cursor=Pa46c
. So they decided instead of storing a history of each previous page, the user should just use their browser's back button instead.
