When I am viewing a feed it seems like there is some sort of auto-refresh that continuously adds new posts to the top of the feed, no matter what sort I am using. This refresh shifts the posts below and also closes any images I had expanded which makes browsing very unpleasant. I assume this happens for any feed, but I particularly notice this on Local or All because they are more active. Is there any way to fix this?

It seems like this auto-refresh is pretty wasteful, unless you're intentionally trying to follow a live thread or something. But at the very least I feel like new posts should be added with respect to the sort in place instead of always going to the top so that the feed doesn't keep shifting and refreshing as I try to scroll through.

Here is the open issue regarding this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008

I hope this is fixed soon, it basically makes any feed unusable and is incredibly annoying.

edit: it was just closed as completed so that's a good sign
