Disable autorefresh while scrolling? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

At least with Reddit it's easily detectable (in theory, assuming anyone cared) without putting in the extra effort of IP masking. Here it seems like it'd be impossible to counter even if it were done by a complete layman. If someone has just one account on 5+ different instances they could make a huge difference by voting on their own posts without ever being detected.

Honestly, now that I think about it, it's probably already happening to great effect considering how few people there are voting.

But yeah, oh well. Hopefully something works out.

I don't think it's the same thing. It looks like that user is watching the site reload the entire list, and inaccurately at that (they're looking at all by new but seeing days old posts in between minutes old ones?). What's happening to me is that if I just sit at the top of the page I can watch as new posts come in live, one at a time. Which sounds cool in theory, but really hurts the browsing experience!

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.

Is anyone else getting lag while trying to scroll? (lemmy.ml)
 

When visiting Lemmy while using a browser, the screen follows my thumb just fine. But with Jerboa, while it provides a better experience moving between posts, just trying to scroll down I get lots of delay and halting. Using Android 12.
