Is there an update on 18.1? (self.support)

I feel like with the 3rd party apps shutting down tomorrow, Lemmy could be flooded with new users. It would be a shame if their first experience here is with that front page bug.

What is the bug?

[–] danc4498 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's the use of web sockets. Causes the front page to constantly pull in new content and shift down. It's not even content that belongs in the chosen sorting.

Ahh. My guess is that isn’t a “bug.” It’s more of a feature that was cool when Lemmy had very few posts, but now it’s annoying AF.

If it used the correct sorting, I would agree. But the posts that pop up do not belong in that sorting. I refresh and they go away.

But it is very disruptive when trying to view the front page. Until I heard it was a bug, I had a hard time using Lemmy. I assumed these 1 upvote 0 comment posts were supposed to be there. Now I just know I have to reload every time the front page starts shifting down.
