Ghost Explore directory isn't search engine friendly

Hi,

On Ghost Explore directory homepage and all categories, Google will only ever see the first set of results.

Googlebot doesn’t scroll - so the existing infinite scroll implementation means that they never see any blog beyond the first set of results to load (18 blogs).

See more here: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2014/02/infinite-scroll-search-friendly

To fix this you guys could implement normal/search engine friendly pagination, ie using actual clickable page links - or at least have a “Load more” button.

You can verify this by typing cache:https://ghost.org/explore/ into Google or Chrome.

I realise the directory isn’t necessarily designed to be used by search engines in the first place, but it seems like a wasted opportunity for everyone.
