EDIT: it seems that this is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release! Thank you guys for letting me know

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591009865

Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?

I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.

    In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy’s had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we’re looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.

      Yes, the real time stuff is actually intentional. It’s just that it all fell apart with the massively inreased activity. Then it’s not as fun with real time activity… But hopefully Lemmy 0.18 will come with some strongly needed updates.

      Great, hopefully they roll it out soon.

      Now we need some traction on Kbin’s biggest issue: the inability to collapse threads of comments

      How is that bug related to this issue? The problem OP is describing is that there’s a high volume of new posts, each of which causes the page to auto-update. That might have been OK when traffic was lower, but during high traffic it makes the site unusable, as it’s constantly pushing the post you were reading out of view. How will fixing the linked bug fix this issue?

        It’s a bug in a sense that it disrupts your viewing of the page - it puts those new posts (which shouldn’t even be there because of the Top sort option I’m using) at the start of the page, thus pushing everything down. Countless times I have clicked one thing and was taken to completely another website because the page pushed everything downwards at the same moment.

        That can even be a security risk!

          Yeah, for some reason it doesn’t seem like it happens whenever you don’t stick to the top after loading the page.

          Maybe some kind of default behavior thinking you’re in the new category? idk

            I heard the fix is coming next week (probably) - in the meantime, spread the word about the workaround!

          How would refreshing the page stop the deluge of new posts that OP is talking about? Isn’t that exactly the problem?

        New posts are currently added to the top of the page, regardless of sorting order. This is a bug.

        Maybe if you were sorting by new, you’d want some sort of behavior like that. But it also makes it impossible to look at any posts or comments further down the page.

    It’s also annoying when it refreshes the post that you’re commenting on and makes you comment on a different post.

        I’ve had better experience sorting by hot. Still some refreshing but not as bad since post positions don’t move as much if they do

    Worth noting, it’s a full 24 hours later and this post is still close to the top of the “hot” sorting. Lemmy’s algorithm is not good.

    My problem right now is that even sorting by Hot on ‘all’ of Lemmy.world, almost all of the posts are a day old. It feels off and it’s been the same posts for the last 8 hours or so. Is this because of beehaw doing their thing or what?

    For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I’ve seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I’d love it to be clearer that it’s not. It even says “kbin.social” under the title. (I’m on mobile if that makes a difference).

      As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to “lemmy.world@lemmy.world”, this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it’s abit confusing, but say “gaming@kbin.social” is how it should show for Lemmy users

      Edit: and speaking of the “first time I’ve seen a federated post”, I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It’ll slowly get better

        We don’t have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there’s a setting I’ve not turned on. Your username shows as just “mitchacho74”, no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.

          I’m registered in lemmy.world and you appear to me as DannySpud and nothing else. If I click in your profile I can see that you’re @DannySpud@kbin.social. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)

              I’m not sure, is part of the fediverse so we can interact (in the same way that mastodon users can read and reply to lemmy posts), but it’s a different project with different code. Communities are called Magazines there, and there’s also a microblogging functionality. I’ve lurked a bit kbin.social, but I won’t create an account if I can use this one.

              It also appears to not be fully federated or something.

                Hmm federation has its pros, but I wonder how many communities are so splintered across different instances that they haven’t had a chance to grow yet…

                  Yes, reddit has a similar problem (there’s usually a few communities for any given theme), but being all of them on the same webpage makes it easier to browse and discover.

          Yeah, that’s a bit weird … kind of cool too, like we’re all just part of a big party with no initial way to divide without specifically looking. With that said, the possibilities of duplicates are high and the opportunity for fuckery is even higher, lol

      I tried kbin, but I left it behind when I realized I couldn’t tell the difference between federated and non federated posts.

    Commenting from Kbin here!

    While I also created a lemmy.world account, I have been unable to sign in for over 24 hours, the little circle on the button just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
    But right at this moment I can see the enormous potential of this federated network, and am now officially impressed.

    Anyway… is my inability to log in with my new lemmy.world account due to the massive traffic spike and overload?

      I had the same problem with lemmy.world. Turns out I just had to click the link in the confirmation email which ended up in my spam. After that logging in works fine.

        Currently using this as it’s impossible on mobile browser for me. It’s nice and clean, but could definitely use some QoL features. Or I just haven’t figured out navigating yet, either is possible.

              @Barack_Ollama @LUHG_HANI I think the browser right now is the safest space for lemmy. until they get the apps out of alpha and into the hands of the people. once you figured out the browser then app’s that come will be very easy. On android they have jeroba or whatever it’s called but it dosen’t have all the features. it’s also in the alpha stage. Stay here for a while like a day or so then you will be navigating thru lemmy so easy. Especially on Desktop. Mobile everything is small but usable

      The same thing happens on the app for me as well but it doesnt seem to update with new posts as much, this seems to be an issue with lemmy itself.

      I can be typing out a reply to a comment in a post, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one and now the comment that I’m replying to is something entirely different. Clearly this isn’t intentional, no? Because I’m genuinely having a hard time using Lemmy as a whole because of this.

      My comments also just infinitely spin, making me think that it didn’t get submitted, and so I have to constantly refresh the page.
