Home page behaviour, particularly when it refreshes (lemmy.world)

When I go to the top-level domain (https://lemmy.world/) and select "All" posts, I can be scrolling down when suddenly the page will update / refresh and i lose my place, and I'll see a bulk-update from one community. For example, I saw 20 posts from Torrent Trackers all appear at once. I'm sorting by Active. Is this normal behaviour? I'd like it to refresh when I say, not randomly.

The refresh is, I think, supposed to be a feature of Lemmy. Basically the feed would be updated with new rankings as posts’ rankings change. However, I think it’s bugged out since the huge influx of users and supposedly the devs are working to replace the protocol used to do the update and make it not so jarring.
