I'm trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I'm trying to look at all communities sorted by new. But as I scroll down the page keeps refreshing the posts automatically and pushing stuff I've already scrolled past into view again, and sometimes causing misclicks. Is there a way to disable that so I only get new posts when I refresh the page?

This problem is only going to get worse if the site gets busier.

The lemmy ui is removing websockets in the next update replacing it with a REST API. I suspect that will stop any new posts from popping to the top after load.

People seem to not want new posts and comments moving things around on their page anyway.
