New posts flood page when "Top Day - All" selected (self.lemmy_ca_support)

This is turning into a deal breaker for me. It doesn't matter what instance I'm on, or what I have selected from the dropdown (or browser I'm using), but "new" posts are constantly flooding the feed list.

First, new posts shouldn't even show if I specifically select a different view. Second, they flood things so fast I can't even click on the things I'm interested in. If I look away from the page for 30 seconds it's just junk.

I've had two other people tell me they are seeing the same thing. Tested on MacOS and Windows. Chrome/Brave/Firefox/Safari.

Anyone have a fix?

Yeah, I'm seeing this as well. If I had to guess, I think it's because of new posts being cached on your home server. Like, someone goes out and subs to a new instance formerly unseen by your instance, and all the recent posts are suddenly cached and somehow pop up in your feed? I agree it shouldn't be happening, and the age of the posts that are flooding my feed don't seem to correspond with the view I use. I also notice that I get a lot of posts from the same community all at once.
