Can you stop lemmy from automatically updating the feed?
Hey there, new to lemmy.
Is there a way to stop lemmy from live-updating the feed? It makes it impossible to click on images or read posts since it constantly gets pushed down. Its really bad when i want to scroll local to find communities. Any help appreciated!
This is because Lemmy uses websockets to retrieve live data from the server. I imagine this was a good thing when Lemmy was unpopulated, but now it's just in the way. It's also causing strange bugs, like the vote count rapidly changing to wrong values, or a post just completely changing into a different one while you are reading it.
My understanding is that at the moment, no. It's an artifact of when lemmy was unpopulated. I've heard rumblings that this is going to be changed in the near future though.
There is also some type of weird bug where, if you leave a post open for an hour, the content might get replaced by another post. Refreshing the page reverts it back to normal.
