i mean so far, I'm enjoying it. sure, the community isn't as large, but that's mostly a good thing. on reddit, if i made a post, it would be like a 25% chance to get hundreds of comments, and a 75% chance to get none. here, I've gotten a few, high quality responses on every question post I've made. i do miss the "auto hide read posts" feature, but maybe that'll get added some day
You can hide read posts here! In the web app settings for your profile:
Is there a way to stop the endless loading of posts on the website? Because every time I try to click a post, it moves down because a new post loaded, and this happens every ten seconds, constantly.
It's a bug that wasnt an issue when the community was smaller. Last I heard they will replace it with a refresh icon that pops up at the top when new posts are available.
Oh thank God is a bug, I really thought it was a feature of the site.
Thank jeebus. I was getting all fussy thinking it was a me/my phone/my browser problem.
It’s amazing what kinda bugs can be exposed in your system when your user base expands by orders of magnitude overnight
Do you remember where you heard it? I have been looking around for info about this feature
Here’s the comment (and link to) where I learned about the GitHub issue
https://lemmy.world/comment/134724
I heard it from someone who said they looked at the GitHub page. They mentioneded that they were switching from websocket to html or something and the change would prevent the auto updating. I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area, but that was the gist of the conversation.
I’ve heard that one is just a bug. Hopefully they’re working on it. Mlem (the iOS app) seems to have it handled, but it does crash a lot, and it’s frustrating to lose your scroll progress. I think we just have to wait it out in these early days 😵💫
I also don't seem to have that problem with Jerboa.
I believe it’s specifically an issue with the web client. The apps don’t seem to have that problem.
They've also fixed the problem on Jebora
Having FOS Jerboa could mean we'll have a sync and Boost like app hopefully rather sharpish.
Even the last 2 updates have been rather impressive.
This is good to hear. Hopefully they can work out their aggregation on the main page too.
i AFKd with this open and it just kept loading more posts, my computer was grinding to a halt until i killed firefox.
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
😊
What is considered "read"? Something you scroll past or a post that you open?
Ok, I just tested it out. It’s any post that you upvote, downvote, or open the comments for. Expanding an image is not enough.
Edit: Seems like opening a post’s comments in Mlem (iOS app) doesn’t seem to flag something as “read”. But open a post in the web app and it disappears from both on next reload. Up/downvoting work on both.
Edit 2: If you upvote a post and then remove your upvote, that seems to count as “read” as well. In case you’re like me and can’t commit to an upvote or downvote for every post 😅
I’d assume a post that you open, but I haven’t really tested it out much yet. If I figure it out I’ll update you here
Incredible
Fediverse currently reminds me of Reddit from 10 years ago in frequency of content. There is something nice about not being in the rat race, less toxicity.
yeah it's nice knowing that someone is gonna see my comment instead of it getting lost amongst hundreds. feels a lot more like a community that way
It's amazing how many Reddit comments just aren't seen, no wonder so many people end up lurking.
I had 150k+ karma and most of my comments would go unnoticed.
150k? damn
I know I don't post when I see other 1000 comments, even if it's my own personal experience and it could help someone, the truth is no one will see it and it will be just pollution
yea, not worth wasting my time on a comment no one is gonna see
I saw your comment :)
agreed, I missed the old slower reddit, this feels like that again, it's kind of nice
