Why YSK: Until Lemmy version 0.18 address this bug, you can browse the front page without it being auto updated and spammed with new posts.
Just browse page 0 instead of 1: https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/0 (1 changed to 0)
Is Jerboa affected? Maybe try clicking on OPs link? I doubt you can navigate directly to a URL within an app but I don’t use it so I may may be wrong.
I mostly browse with Jerboa (until Sync is ready 🎉) and it isn’t affected. Only when using the web app.
Maybe not, it’s entirely possible my subscription feed is just stale all the time.
