How to prevent auto-loading of new posts?

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.

Okay got it, bug not feature. Phew. Sounds good then.

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).

Hopefully it'll get fixed soon, otherwise at the rate that Lemmy is growing, we'll soon be playing never ending catchup.

Jerboa doesn't seem to have that bug if you're on mobile.

Another thing I noticed is the filters don't seem to do much? Like Active vs Hot vs Top (especially Top/Hot just shows posts with no interaction).
