I left that tab open for a few hours and when I came back my laptop was really hot and the CPU fans kicked in.
this will probably be fixed in v0.18 since they're disabling websockets

How is a websocket being the problem in this?
it's how they're doing live updates on pages, they're disabling the auto updates
When I'm on at home, the page I'm on constantly refreshes. That means it is making calls to the server frequently. There may be a way to turn it off and only update page when you make a refresh request, but I'm not that savvy yet
yea v0.18 turns off the constant refreshes
It seems to use more over time
I've had a similar issue. I think it's tied to how posts seemingly endlessly rain in. Probably will be fixed in the next update, but I'm not sure when exactly that will happen.
Firefox and Lemmy tabs left open to the front page for hours are not currently a good mix.
