The way Reddit displays content is basically all caches, as far as I can tell. Every query you do is supposed to directly hit a cache of 1000 objects (like comments or posts). You can’t go past 1000, either through the web interface or through the API.

Kinda frustrating design, IMO, speaking as an end-user.

It was always obvious when you scrolled past the cached content because errors or timeouts would start happening pretty frequently.
