Question from lemmy noob. Why does the feed constantly update?

Maybe I'm too used to reddit. But on any sort type under "All", I get constant feed updates with posts under 1m old. Sometimes they come so fast that I click on the wrong post.

This is kind of annoying to me and doesnt match the intent of the sort filter. For example, "hot" shouldn't show a new post with no comments created 1m ago.

Is there a reason to this?

Had the same issue was was poking around github to see if it was known and it is, seems like we're waiting for Lemmy 0.18.0 to drop + the server to deploy it

It appears that 0.18 will be the next release.

It’s a bug. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

Some said it's a feature.

Here is the reference to the issue. It’s in the lemmy-ui GitHub backlog. They want to add a “slow mode” as an account level feature switch where it won’t update the page but instead show a refresh button when there is new content.

And in the comments they mention there is also a bug that if the page updates with new content while you are editing something you lose the edit.

And here is a fix that is tagged to be merged (separate but related issue): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/169

The not so great part? These issues are two years old… 🤔

This is literally how I got to this post, but the site is in very early stages and has a lot to improve upon. Give it time and things will be fixed!

HAH! I was just thinking, “huh, this is weird, but I think I could get used to it” and then your post came in and I accidentally clicked on it!!! Good to hear that it’s a known issue w/ a resolution in 0.18.0

Oh good, it's not just me. Glad to hear it is being worked on.

Along the same lines: is there a way to collapse posts in the feed?

Cralex@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y

From what I hear, that’ll be changed eventually.

Try changing to active instead of hot
