sort by "New", updates instantly all the time? (self.main)

I'm still playing around getting my bearings here, trying to explore this still-growing federation. I've tried browsing by "New" on both mobile and desktop a couple of times, but on desktop it's almost unsuable. Any time there's a new post, the INSTANT it goes up my feed updates, and scrolls down. Sometimes it's one post, sometimes a dozen.

To me (opinion here), sorting by "new" should sort of be a timestampped thing: I want "new as of right now but nothing more". If I refresh, sure update me to the latest. But a list that's live updating as things happen? That's... not useful to me.

Am I missing something, or does anyone else feel similarly?

known bug as far as I know. its actually the federating updates coming in.

Oh, so not just as simple as keeping your own ducks in a row, but preventing others' from jumping the queue too. Fuuuuuunnnnnn.

it's both. if you sit at the top you will see brand new posts come in one at a time and then occasionally get a giant flood as a new community gets federated.

it's maddening. by far the biggest issue with this system.
