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.
I use a Disable Javascript addon. Downside is you have to turn it back on when you want to comment or vote. But fully stops the auto refresh. This is what I use for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search
