Sorry, I didn't realize that this name would cause confusion. Perhaps the term "masonry layout" is more widely used, but you can still find many results about "waterfall layout" by googling it.

I'd just never come across it before.

Funny how tech can be like that. Something is widely understood in some circles for some time periods and is completely new outside that. I used to be a lot more involved in Web UX stuff but I've been doing other things for a few years and it seems like there was a collective change in terminology!

Waterfall is the more accurate term of your app uses masonry and infinite scrolling vs pagination.
