Stop auto-update on "All"?

Has anyone found a way to stop "All" from pushing the feed down even while I'm scrolling through? It's already a bit painful now... don't wanna imagine this in a year or two, with many more users.

I think the main feed is a bit of a mess. They really need to get the algorithm for hot and active fixed so it feels more like the Reddit front page.
- I agree. "Active" and "Hot" display the same threads for days. "New" is essentially just a flood of 2 or 3 popular communities.
  
  I wish there was an "Active but hide all the posts you already looked at today" option
  
  I really miss Boost's clear read posts feature.
- The tricky part is defining an algo for hot, it’s a bit different than reddit since some instances may have many people, and local may have fewer, so there should be a balance such that posts from larger instances don’t overwhelm local instances perhaps.
  
  I don't disagree it's tricky. But it's necessary if Lemmy will ever be a Reddit replacement.
I'm on jerboa for android and this doesn't seem to be an issue for me here.
- It's a huge problem on desktop. Jerboa doesn't have the issue.
Glad I'm not the only one. It's getting pretty annoying
No but its weird. Not sure how this got past testing.
- Yeah, I was hoping someone made a Tampermonkey script or something as a band aid until this is fixed.
+1. It's extremely annoying. I have been clicking on and upvoting wrong posts all over the place.
