YSK you can easily escape the new post avalanche bug by viewing the 2nd page of posts

Why YSK: I use the web version of Lemmy both on desktop and mobile. By going directly to the 2nd page of posts, I get rid of both the neverending stream of new posts and of the same old posts that keep sticking to the 1st page. It works for all the filters: active, hot... No need to scroll down, just change the number in the end of the URL from 1 to 2 and save it to favourites or whatever.

You can also see the first page no-scroll by changing the number from one to zero. Not sure why this stuff works, but hey, it does the job until future updates are in play.

Wow, how did you find out? It would never cross my mind to do that. Very cool!

People have been posting it for a little bit.

Well to be fair this isn't gonna be relevant in a few days hopefully. They already pushed a fix to this in update 18.0, but some instances (including lemmy.world) are waiting for 18.1 to come out to bring back captchas.

Yeah, thanks for bringing that forward, I'll check it out when 18.1 comes out!
