How does one stop constant auto-refresh of the feed?

this usually happens, but i can't always reproduce it. it makes the page illegible.

I've seen a lot of people asking for a feed pause button. For me what usually happens is I will be browsing All and somebody on my instance will subscribe to a novel community, causing all its posts to be federating into my feed at once. So there's really two issues going on there, but yes I would actually prefer to not have the live feed updates and instead do discrete pagination.

I'm almoat certain it's a bug. I hate it, though. I've been only using Jerboa instead.

I have been advised to check the FAQ:

Q: Why are new posts suddenly popping up really fast into the feed?

A: This bug is caused by websocket, starting from Lemmy’s early days. It will be removed in the next release.

Is there any sort of timeline or might it happen tomorrow or in a year?

The version is currently in testing phase.
