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 tried Jerboa. It seemed okay at first. But now I have lots of problems. The app can’t seem to decide whether I am logged in or not. In one place it displays my username, indicating that I must be logged in, but then I click on something else and it says “not logged in”.

      If you’re clicking/tapping on the direct link of another community it’s going to act like you’re trying to log in to that community rather than subscribe to that community, if that makes any sense. You’re basically bouncing from one website to another rather than getting that information sent to your “home”. It didn’t make a ton of sense to me either when I started.

      I’m seeing that problem also, but while just using a web browser. Last night it seemed to happen all the time when viewing posts from beehaw. (I’m registered on lemmy.world FWIW.)
