Question from lemmy noob. Why does the feed constantly update? (self.lemmyworld)

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.

Is there a reason to this?

It’s a bug. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

Some said it's a feature.

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.

And here is a fix that is tagged to be merged (separate but related issue): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/169

The not so great part? These issues are two years old… 🤔
