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.

Mastodon has a good solution for this were the user can choose between continuous scrolling updates and manually updating the feed. Would be good to have a similar option here.

if i understand correctly it's a known bug thats going to be fixed

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!

Yes it’s irritating

Especially in the crowded lemmy instances

Fix: scroll one notch on the feed

This must be a Lemmy thing right? I haven’t experienced this at all on kbin.

Try sorting by daily top as a workaround until this gets properly fixed.

I think the issue is that the scroll is also updated when the posts list is updated. They need to implement this like twitter where new posts are loaded from above and not the whole page ever X seconds.
