I’m not sure where to post about problems in the platform, if here or at lemmy.ml but there’s a problem that’s quickly getting annoying and that’s the fact that whenever I choose All communities and choose anything other that “Active” the posts constantly refresh themselves rather than refreshing when I want. It makes it hard to browse and read things.
This is in the browser, mobile or desktop.
This problem is already solved in the next update 0.18. But it’s not released yet. On the bottom you’ll find current version is still 0.17.4.
That’s very good to hear, thanks!
It’s a well known bug. Apparently they’re working on a fix.
Not so much a bug, but a feature.
A feature that made sense when new posts were suuuper rare.
with sudden influx of thousands of new users, that feature is now a pain in the ass lol
Yeah they’re planning to remove the websockets thing that makes it update on the fly. It used to work at a snails pace but not now 😂

I was so happy to see someone else having the same issue and now I’m glad to see that the next update will fix that. My only issue with lemmy: about to be solved.
Real-time updates are really cool but layout shift every second is not. New posts could stay hidden behind a ”see N new items” until you click.
These updates could scroll on a floating sidebar on the browser that could be minimized/hidden. Not sure on mobile apps.
