Disable autorefresh while scrolling? (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I'm trying to look at all communities sorted by new. But as I scroll down the page keeps refreshing the posts automatically and pushing stuff I've already scrolled past into view again, and sometimes causing misclicks. Is there a way to disable that so I only get new posts when I refresh the page?

This problem is only going to get worse if the site gets busier.

when they’re initially pulled in to the local instance db.

I know this, these posts are not pulled initially. Many times I have seen this with old posts that I had seen and voted on months ago.

Soon lemmy will get html posts instead of websocket, I think that might fix it??
