    I’ve seen a lot of people asking for a feed pause button. For me what usually happens is I will be browsing All and somebody on my instance will subscribe to a novel community, causing all its posts to be federating into my feed at once. So there’s really two issues going on there, but yes I would actually prefer to not have the live feed updates and instead do discrete pagination.

      I’m almoat certain it’s a bug. I hate it, though. I’ve been only using Jerboa instead.

        Yup, I’ve been using Jerboa to browse, and then switching to desktop when there’s a new community I want to sub to.

    I have been advised to check the FAQ:

    Q: Why are new posts suddenly popping up really fast into the feed?

    A: This bug is caused by websocket, starting from Lemmy’s early days. It will be removed in the next release.
