Is there any way to stop the auto-refreshing of the home page in lemmy? I can't read more than a post or two before a new flood pushes everything down.

Unfortunately not. I made a post about it a few days ago and apparently it's an unintended behavior that will be fixed, it was just never an issue before since there were so few users lol

Also, the giant flood of posts you're seeing is actually ANOTHER bug that happens as your instance federates with another; look close and you'll see many of them are actually quite old. Refresh the pag and those will disappear

Noticed this too. Now when it happens I smile and scroll back to the top to see which new communities I get to interact with lol

I do something similar - I've subscribed to a few communities now that have popped up at the top of my feed because I thought "oh, this looks cool"

I got the same thing. Using the Android app made it readable for now.

I don't think so. What kind of sorting are you using that pushes things down so quickly? New?

Anyway, I guess you could use the RSS feed...

It is faster with New, but I've used Hot as well. At any rate, I'll just hang out until it's fixed.

If I select "All" it starts loading new content at the top and pushing everything else down, which is frustrating if you're just scrolling and trying to read post titles. It's also kinda cool that it loads new stuff in real time... just wish it were an option I could turn off.

I'm surprised this is the only post I found about this issue when I searched "pause feed". I understand that it's nice to see new posts added when you select "new" sorting, but on the other options is doesn't really make sense.
