Just migrated from reddit to here few days back and I have an eye condition which makes me dizzy when the text scrolls frequently. On reddit, I’ll usually refresh the page for new feeds. But on lemmy, the feed is updating constantly which is making me dizzy. Is there a solution to disable feed auto updating?

    It’s a bug. When lemmy.world updates the server instance it should be fixed. Was fixed in the newest version .18.0 however captcha was removed so admins are waiting for .18.1 to release.

    I answered this for someone the other day, here’s a workaround until they update it:

    I learned today that once you jump from your home configuration to any other different sorting option, the web address will change to something like blahblahbunchofstuff…page/1. Change the 1 to a 0 (zero) and reload the page, and it stops the mad scrolling.

    Also lemmy.ml has upgraded to 18.0 so you could browse that instance for now until your preferred instance is updated. That is what I have been doing when I want to browse all without the updating.

      Thanks It’s working and although not a permanent solution, I can manage for now.
