Scrolling is moving down a feed of posts on a screen. Endless scrolling, stop scrolling, scrolling for hours.
Infinite scroll is the design that loads more content automatically so there is never a natural stopping point, and it was designed for exactly that effect. Doomscrolling is the habit of scrolling through bad news, a word that became common around 2020. As a verb, scroll comes from the rolled manuscript, because early screens moved text the way unrolling a scroll does. Note scroll bar, and scroll wheel.
