I’m trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I’m trying to look at all communities sorted by new. But as I scroll down the page keeps refreshing the posts automatically and pushing stuff I’ve already scrolled past into view again, and sometimes causing misclicks. Is there a way to disable that so I only get new posts when I refresh the page?
This problem is only going to get worse if the site gets busier.
There is no auto refreshing, it probably is this behavior, which is a bug. Might get fixed with the next update, if we’re lucky :)I don’t think it’s the same thing. It looks like that user is watching the site reload the entire list, and inaccurately at that (they’re looking at all by new but seeing days old posts in between minutes old ones?). What’s happening to me is that if I just sit at the top of the page I can watch as new posts come in live, one at a time. Which sounds cool in theory, but really hurts the browsing experience!
