How to prevent auto-loading of new posts? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Not sure if it has been mentioned, I couldn't find anything. I think one of my biggest issues is that no matter how I sort things I will scroll half way down the page then suddenly everything shifts because of posts added to the top being <1m old.

Is there anyway to prevent new post from auto-populating so i can actually make it to the bottom of a page? Or is it something janky on my end that is causing it?

This is a known bug, so it should get fixed eventually.

Would you happen to have a link to the GitHub issue about this? I am unable to find a related ticket to track.

Edit: found something not totally related but another issue that I'm also facing: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008 (e.g. sorting by "new" causes to suddenly show bunch of 5d old posts after a few seconds)

Not on GitHub, but on the "known issue" post locally.

Thanks for the link!

From your link:

I found a post or two claiming that the issue is that the API is implemented using websockets only, so it’s not as simple as just turning it off. I really hope that is not the case, since I currently can’t read anything on the frontpage that takes more than a few seconds!

I also see in the GH issue that I linked there is a mention of that issue:

New posts should probably never even be added to your feed automatically. They should only change if you refresh the page.

A maintainer replied that the issue may be fixed in 0.18.0 (not sure whether it fixed both issues or only one of them though–will see I guess).
