The issue with discourse is it isn’t infinite scroll. They break up the timeline into the right side and if you have an exceptionally long timeline it will skip time periods thinking you just want the original post and the new stuff.

It makes it difficult to follow the conversations.

Pagination also makes copy pasting links easier.

Not necessarily, pagination is often configurable, so either way you need a per-comment permalink for linking to be reliable.

This is correct. A problem with a sensible solution. When you scroll through NodeBB your address bar updates with the context of where you are. Copying that address will return you to where you were.

Likewise each post has a permalink in the timestamp. It will also return you to that post.
