Not sure why this is happening, it's been like it since I came over and it's quite annoying. No matter if it's on All and filtered by Hot,Active etc, every so often new posts will auto feed right at the top and shift everything down.

Is this a bug on my end, or intended functionality? It sucks :)

I think that is a problem with the current back-end version of Lemmy (0.17.4). I belivie that this is fixed in 0.18.0, but Lemmy.world has not been able to upgrade to it, as it is, presumably, badly optimized for larger Lemmy instances such as Lemmy.world.

It was intended functionality in 0.17.4. Pretty sure it was changed in 0.18.0 but .world has not upgraded because it's missing captcha functionality.

They tried to go to a release candidate of 0.18.1 that has captchas again but since it's not fully tested it didn't behave well apparently.

I’m a refugee from Apollo at the most recently failed social media place, and this is one of the biggest reasons I can’t, yet, call the Fed I’verse home. If I try to click a post it’s gone before my hand gets to it and it usually slips off the page before I catch up to it.

Same. I’ve been very surprised to see so few mention this problem and I threads where it’s brought up it’s dismissed as a temporary issue or even a feature. It’s been like this for a month on lemmy.world and many other instances. For me it makes it nearly unusable and I usually go to kbin instead.

I see the same behavior in Chrome. I wonder if this is some poorly executed way to encourage users to be active on new posts. I do like that a similar feature auto-displays new comments. That doesn't bother me nearly as much as the new posts.

Its a bug not a feature. I hear it's fixed in version 0.18 of the server code, but lemmy.world is still running 0.17 due to issues with the update.

If it bothers you, be patient or switch to an instance that is running 0.18. You can see the version number at the bottom of the page on desktop.
