L5 Pagination + Infinite Scroll jQuery

I am trying to use paginate() to achieve infinite scroll. I think the easiest way is using the infinite-scroll to achieve this. If you have any other suggestion how to do it without infinite-scroll library, just using jQuery, I'd be happy to know..

I am returning the variable to view like:

public function index()
 {
    $posts = Post::with('status' == 'verified')
                      ->paginate(30);

    return view ('show')->with(compact('posts'));
 }

My Blade:

<div id="content" class="col-md-10">
    @foreach (array_chunk($posts->all(), 3) as $row)
        <div class="post row">
            @foreach($row as $post)
                <div class="item col-md-4">
                    <!-- SHOW POST -->
                </div>
            @endforeach
        </div>
    @endforeach
    {!! $posts->render() !!}
 </div>

Javascript Part:

$(document).ready(function() {
(function() {
     var loading_options = {
        finishedMsg: "<div class='end-msg'>Congratulations! You've reached the end of the internet</div>",
        msgText: "<div class='center'>Loading news items...</div>",
        img: "/assets/img/ajax-loader.gif"
     };

     $('#content').infinitescroll({
         loading: loading_options,
         navSelector: "ul.pagination",
         nextSelector: "ul.pagination  li:last a",
         itemSelector: "#content div.item"
     });
 });
}); 

However, this doesn't work. The ->render() part is working because I am getting [<[1]2]3]>] part. However, the infinite scroll doesn't work. I also don't get any errors in the console.

[<[1]2]3]>] is like this in the view:source:

<ul class="pagination">
       <li class="disabled"><span>«</span> </li>                                       //   «
       <li class="active"><span>1</span></li>                                          //   1
       <li><a href="http://test.dev/?page=2">2</a></li>                                //   2
       <li><a href="http://test.dev/?page=3">3</a></li>                                //   3
       <li><a href="http://test.dev?page=2" rel="next">»</a></li>                      //   »
</ul>
