Has anybody figured out a workaround or fix for this?

The behavior I’m describing is when sorting by All > anything (top, hot, whatever) you get a feed. Great! I start scrolling and then the page jumps. Then jumps again. And again and again and again… it makes trying to actually preview or click anything a nightmare. Scrolling back to the top of the page shows why - a ton of new posts from across the Fediverse are up there! But I’m not sorting by New, so what gives?

    I have two ideas. First, I haven’t had the jumps on Jerboa; I only see jumps using my browser. Second, I didnt see the jumps when sorting by top. I honestly still enjoy sorting by top as default, even on Jerboa.

      Yeah, they’re still there for me even when sorting by top, unfortunately.

      And I can’t use Jerboa because I’m on an iPad (which also makes the Mlem client problematic for now, they don’t have iPad scaling yet - but I can confirm that the problem does not occur in the app)

      So that leaves me with the good ol’ webpage. /sad (lol)

      That’s ok though! I understand it’s early days for Lemmy, and the fix is on the way! I can be patient to kick Reddit squarely in the nuts 😁

    I see this all the time on the web page for new posts. My solution: fight my way to the bottom of the page, then click “Next”. That page won’t automatically refresh.
