Still learning - the Lemmy webapp - and behavior of showing new postings without having to manually refresh - and the setting "Show Notifications for New Posts"
Still learning, but so far the webapp non-mobile experience seems to be that if I'm sitting on the home page looking at the listing of postings, it automatically inserts new ones at the top without me having to hit refresh.
That's different from "old Reddit", Fark, Slashdot behavior where the page output was static and a manual browser refresh is required.
Is there a preference to control this behavior so it can be a static page? I tend to revisit my web browser tabs after an hour or two and want to finish reading where I left off - and it dynamically updating goes against my desires.
Thank you.
You're viewing a single thread.
From what I have read, I believe this behavior will change when they finish the update changing from websockets to HTML. Last I saw they said they were about 80% done so it seemingly is fairly close but that is relative as I don't know the pace of development. Then presumably you'd still have to wait for your instance to be updated.
As far as I know that's the only solution unless somehow someone made a script that prevents the page from updating.
