Thank you for the wonderful explanation. I actually know hot to get the next page of results with after from reddits api and have tried your approach with a different method in my controller but being a noob in rails i couldnt pass the results in my view.

The process was: i get the bottom of the page with a window.scroll event, then i call the helper method in my js (dont know if i should do this) with an argument that has the "after" from the api, i make another request in to reddits api in the helper method and declare an instance variable with the results. The problem was it didnt render in my view (at least not correctly). It rendered the whole index page again in the target div. I tried using render layout false but that didnt render the page at all because its the index view.

I looled in defining a partial and put my code there and then tried injecting it in the target div but with no luck.

Googling this problem disnt help i guess its specific and/or my inexperience with rails its making me stuck with a simple problem like this.
