    Make lazy loading/infinite scrolling functionality consistent in all components (orient me and community catalog)

    When I post a file like libreoffice calc document or pdfs, it is placed in the activity stream with some preview image. The image is only generated on the first publish. So if I change the file, other people still see the outdated preview. This sh...
