I’ve noticed while using lemmy that stuff will just “pop up” so to speak. Is this because of some kind of automatic refreshing or something? Anyway, I know copying reddit shouldn’t be the goal but tbh having stuff constantly pop up is kind of annoying. I noticed this also with the federated feed on mastodon, it is impossible to read because there’s a constant stream of new stuff getting added.

    It’s a bug that’s supposed to be getting fixed in 0.18. They’re switching from websockets to HTML I believe, and then it’ll only add the new stuff with a page refresh.

    Yeah, it’s really annoying as it stands.

      Came here to find out if anyone else had commented on this insanity, glad it’s just a bug - it makes it almost unusable.
