Adding other pages with pagination

Pagination is only working on my home page. Is it possible to have other pages using pagination? For example if I wanted to have the home page display a certain amount of posts then under the last post have a link to another page that would have an even bigger list of posts that would use pagination to link older posts.

Like this answer stated :

"Pagination in Jekyll only works in an index.html file. If you have other pages in the root of your project folder (say, about.html, poems.html) pagination will NOT work in them.

To have pagination work in another page other than your index.html, create a new folder for that page (say, poems/) and change what would have been "poems.html" to "poems/index.html". After that, your "paginate_path" in _config.yml should be 'paginate_path: "/poems/page:num/"."
