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

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.
In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy’s had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we’re looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.
Yeah im not dissing or anything, I understand lemmy is still in its infancy
More like a teenager with their first job.
This week, Lemmy becomes a man.
Mazel tov!
Yeah thats a better way to put it, I keep forgetting than lemmy is like 2 or 3 years old already!
Yes, the real time stuff is actually intentional. It’s just that it all fell apart with the massively inreased activity. Then it’s not as fun with real time activity… But hopefully Lemmy 0.18 will come with some strongly needed updates.
Update is coming. It’s a known issue
Is there an ETA? Lemmy is basically unusable so long as it’s front page is a mess
The workaround for me is to refresh and scroll down when it happens
How would refreshing the page stop the deluge of new posts that OP is talking about? Isn’t that exactly the problem?
Yeah, for some reason it doesn’t seem like it happens whenever you don’t stick to the top after loading the page.
Maybe some kind of default behavior thinking you’re in the new category? idk
bugs are weird haha.
I heard the fix is coming next week (probably) - in the meantime, spread the word about the workaround!
It’s a bug they’re working on.
It’s a bug that the site auto-updates whenever a new post is made? I thought that was a feature. It’s even advertised on join-lemmy.org
New posts are currently added to the top of the page, regardless of sorting order. This is a bug.
Maybe if you were sorting by new, you’d want some sort of behavior like that. But it also makes it impossible to look at any posts or comments further down the page.
They are fixing this bug in the next release which will be 0.18.

Thanks for letting me know!
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!
Great, hopefully they roll it out soon.
Now we need some traction on Kbin’s biggest issue: the inability to collapse threads of comments
It’s also annoying when it refreshes the post that you’re commenting on and makes you comment on a different post.
Thought I was the only one getting this!
Another one I keep getting is the timeout error.
This too.
And sometimes it momentarily shows my profile link as though I were logged in as another user.
I had that. Right after I logged in it briefly displayed another user’s avatar where mine would go (I have none).
I assume this is on the website? I haven’t had this happen on jerboa.
try switching your default view to Subscribed / Hot
Change your default view from All/new to Subscribed/active.
That’s not my issue, no matter what I select the new posts still appear constantly.
I’ve had better experience sorting by hot. Still some refreshing but not as bad since post positions don’t move as much if they do
I’ll be very happy when this update gets rolled out.
Talking about bugs, any word on when there will be a fix for the upvote count wildly jumping around on posts?
My problem right now is that even sorting by Hot on ‘all’ of Lemmy.world, almost all of the posts are a day old. It feels off and it’s been the same posts for the last 8 hours or so. Is this because of beehaw doing their thing or what?
It’s a bug being fixed in the next release.
Worth noting, it’s a full 24 hours later and this post is still close to the top of the “hot” sorting. Lemmy’s algorithm is not good.
Try the gerboa android client
Just for clarity in case anybody wants to download. It’s Jerboa and can be downloaded from Fdroid, Play store or git hub APK.
Currently using this as it’s impossible on mobile browser for me. It’s nice and clean, but could definitely use some QoL features. Or I just haven’t figured out navigating yet, either is possible.
Jerboa on android is pretty good. Mlem for iOS in test pilot is ok I believe.
Mlem for iOS crashes like every 30 seconds for me :( I’ve had to stick to the browser :(
The same thing happens on the app for me as well but it doesnt seem to update with new posts as much, this seems to be an issue with lemmy itself.
I was reading a post and before I got to the comment section the entire post switched to another one.
I can be typing out a reply to a comment in a post, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one and now the comment that I’m replying to is something entirely different. Clearly this isn’t intentional, no? Because I’m genuinely having a hard time using Lemmy as a whole because of this.
My comments also just infinitely spin, making me think that it didn’t get submitted, and so I have to constantly refresh the page.
I can see you from sh.itjust.works!
Oh u e been getting this error too. That, and sometimes posts will go through but the “reply” button still spins and it looks like I haven’t posted the content.
If you have ios join the Memmy TestFlight group and use the app. Infinitely better experience
Unfortunately it is claiming the beta is full :(
Mlem was full for me. I managed join Memmy less than 24 hours ago though.
