When going through the post feed, I'll randomly get 5-10 new posts added to the top of the feed. These 5-10 posts are all new with 1 or 2 upvotes only. Sometimes all from the same community.

This happens on local, subscribed, or all feeds. It also doesn't matter what sorting option is selected.

Is this a known issue or an expected behavior?

This happens to me a couple times a day

Me too. I read it was a known bug but I don't have the link handy. I hope it's fixed soon

I have this bug too. Don't know if someone reported it on GitHub, but it's been reported multiple times in the lemmy support community.

Oh wow. Good that they were able to record it while it happened.

I just ran a screen recorder and waited a few minutes until it happened again, then cut the waiting part of the video.

I hope this gets fixed as a side effect of the upcoming removal of the websocket connection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes that's exactly what I've been hoping!!

It's a known bug. ~~If you're using Firefox on desktop like I am, going to about:config and setting "accessibility.blockautorefresh" to "true" seems to be a workaround.~~

edit: doesn't work

[–] SmugBedBug 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for this!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It helps a lot doesn't seem to stop it completely though.

edit: speak of the devil, I just got hit hard by the bug again. Sigh. Guess this solution doesn't work.
