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

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by raku to c/lemmyworld

18 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

sorted by: hot top controversial new old

Had the same issue was was poking around github to see if it was known and it is, seems like we're waiting for Lemmy 0.18.0 to drop + the server to deploy it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It appears that 0.18 will be the next release.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some said it's a feature.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/133

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… 🤔

This is literally how I got to this post, but the site is in very early stages and has a lot to improve upon. Give it time and things will be fixed!

HAH! I was just thinking, “huh, this is weird, but I think I could get used to it” and then your post came in and I accidentally clicked on it!!! Good to hear that it’s a known issue w/ a resolution in 0.18.0

[–] raku 5 points 1 year ago

haha good to know im not alone

[–] talos 4 points 1 year ago

Oh good, it's not just me. Glad to hear it is being worked on.

[–] doctorbritta 4 points 1 year ago

Along the same lines: is there a way to collapse posts in the feed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

From what I hear, that’ll be changed eventually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Try changing to active instead of hot
