I’m scrolling through the front page, expanding the thumbnails of pictures to look at them etc. And then suddenly a bunch of new posts appear at the top of the feed and I lose my place. Also the current thumbnail minimizes.
Does anyone else get this effect?
I’d prefer it to stay static until I hit refresh myself.
EDIT: thanks for the speedy responses. As a new user I’d also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to those running these communities. The inter-compatible federated concept seems truly brilliant, and they must be working very hard to cope with this new influx of users like me.
Same here. And what’s weird is… if I’m on Local, then the top posts have thousands of upvotes. If I click on All, then all of the new posts that come sputtering through have like one upvote each. They also seem to come in batches. Like I’ll get half a dozen posts from the same user, then another half dozen from some obscure forum. It feels like when the app goes out beyond its own instance to load content from other instances then it does a terrible job of throttling the feed.
