EDIT: it seems that this is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release! Thank you guys for letting me know

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591009865

Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?

I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.

How is that bug related to this issue? The problem OP is describing is that there's a high volume of new posts, each of which causes the page to auto-update. That might have been OK when traffic was lower, but during high traffic it makes the site unusable, as it's constantly pushing the post you were reading out of view. How will fixing the linked bug fix this issue?

    It's a bug in a sense that it disrupts your viewing of the page - it puts those new posts (which shouldn't even be there because of the Top sort option I'm using) at the start of the page, thus pushing everything down. Countless times I have clicked one thing and was taken to completely another website because the page pushed everything downwards at the same moment.

    That can even be a security risk!
