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.
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
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.
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
