The block of code in the theme’s function.php below returns a post on the frontpage. Although there are additional posts, it doesn’t return the pagination.

function mg_front_page($query){
      if ( $query->is_main_query() && get_option( 'show_on_front' ) === 'page' ) {
        if( $query->get("page_id") == get_option("page_on_front") ) {
    
            $front_page_post_type =  get_post_type( $query->get("page_id") );
            $query->set( 'post_type', $front_page_post_type );
            $query->is_page = 0;
            $query->is_singular = 0;
            $query->is_post_type_archive = 1;
            $query->is_archive = 1;
    
        }
    }
}
add_action("pre_get_posts", "mg_front_page");
