On the homepage lemmy.world, new posts keep appearing at the top even when not sorting by new. This causes annoying layout shift, especially when browsing all communities, not just local ones. (I use Firefox / Win 10)

I have the same issue. Makes the front page unusable with the flood of posts pushing everything down. Firefox / Win 11

See this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008

It will be fixed in the next release of lemmy, 0.18.

do you know when the next release is? the feed shifting around is getting annoying on desktop.

[–] wit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No idea, sorry.

This seems like a really big problem to me. I tried searching lemmy for it, but have not found anything conclusive.

I found a post or two claiming that the issue is that the API is implemented using websockets only, so it’s not as simple as just turning it off. I really hope that is not the case, since I currently can’t read anything on the frontpage that takes more than a few seconds!
