Is it possible to disable auto-refresh on the homepage?

It is causing the following observed issues:

  • The dropdown menu flickers when in it’s open state, even if there are no updates. I assume the DOM is being updated even when there are no updates?
  • The refresh causes images which have been expanded to be hidden again.

Personally, I would just like the option to disable auto-refresh. I can do that myself once I have read everything on the page.

    The same. One other problem is Is I have an image hover extension on my pc, and the post constantly jumping out are annoying. Even more so if the “new” stuff turns out to be days okd stuff from some forgotten instance.

    I have to agree. Also, auto-refresh can make scrolling down posts in general more than a little annoying if you’re on a fast-updating feed, like on lemmy.directory.
