Anyone else find it extremely annoying and downright unusable that the home page (when sorted to get HOT posts from ALL communities - probably other sort options too) automatically refreshes every few seconds and just shifts the contents downwards?
It’s dizzying - any way to turn this off? I can refresh the page manually when I’m done reading through the topics should I want to…
As was mentioned this is a known bug. It’s always existed but was easy to not notice when there were only dozens of contributors. Now that those dozens have turned into ten of thousands virtually overnight it’s a much higher concern.
@collegefurtrader lol you’re welcome. :P
Mastodon has a good solution for this where the user can choose between continuous scrolling updates and manually updating the feed. Would be good to have a similar option here.
Besides that I also feel like it has to do with the way lemmy gets new content from other server. I’ve noticed a downpour of post from the same sub on the new feed happening all at once several times now. With some of the posts already being several hours old.
if i understand correctly it’s a known bug thats going to be fixed
That entry says that a recent update should have fixed it, yet it’s obviously still happening.
If you’re on Android you can use Jerboa. It doesn’t do that.
Yeah this has been greatly annoying me as well. It’s not a problem on Jerboa though and I find myself just using that more often now.
Hopefully it’ll be fixed with the next update!
