Can you stop lemmy from automatically updating the feed?
Hey there, new to lemmy. Is there a way to stop lemmy from live-updating the feed? It makes it impossible to click on images or read posts since it constantly gets pushed down. Its really bad when i want to scroll local to find communities. Any help appreciated!

This is because Lemmy uses websockets to retrieve live data from the server. I imagine this was a good thing when Lemmy was unpopulated, but now it's just in the way. It's also causing strange bugs, like the vote count rapidly changing to wrong values, or a post just completely changing into a different one while you are reading it.
Websockets will be removed from Lemmy in 0.18, which should fix all of this.
that sounds great. I legit have funny enough seen my votes change from 5 up to 1,6 k up to 6 up.
Yeah, it is pretty weird. I guess the websockets feature was never tested with 100,000% more users than Lemmy had before. We broke Lemmy :P
That one got missed in the load test...
Do we have an estimated release date?
Both of these strange bugs happened when I was trying to read this post, and I don't think I ever observed them until just now.
