Very soon (within a couple days) this feature will be disabled, which will also greatly improve performance. You can follow progress here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1081 For the future, this sort of question is better for [email protected]
I've found that if you change the Sort Type (at the top of the web ui) to either Hot or Active, it slows down or stops the screen refresh. There should also be a way in your profile settings to make either of these your default.
Still learning it myself, so there may be better answers out there...
It'll stop soon. The Devs are currently pushing through a big UI rework that changes the way the frontend communicates with the backend. Once that's released and your instance updates, the auto-refreshing will end.
It’s a bug. There’s a GitHub issue for it, although I don’t have a link. It’s floating around on here if you look or you could go through the issue tracker.
I'm new here as all of us. but if you don't sort by new you won't get the feed being refreshed all the time. you might want to play with the sorting and report back
