EDIT: it seems that this is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release! Thank you guys for letting me know
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591009865
Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?
I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.
Try the gerboa android client
The same thing happens on the app for me as well but it doesnt seem to update with new posts as much, this seems to be an issue with lemmy itself.
For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I’ve seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I’d love it to be clearer that it’s not. It even says “kbin.social” under the title. (I’m on mobile if that makes a difference).
As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to “lemmy.world@lemmy.world”, this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it’s abit confusing, but say “gaming@kbin.social” is how it should show for Lemmy users
Edit: and speaking of the “first time I’ve seen a federated post”, I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It’ll slowly get better
We don’t have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there’s a setting I’ve not turned on. Your username shows as just “mitchacho74”, no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.
I’m registered in lemmy.world and you appear to me as DannySpud and nothing else. If I click in your profile I can see that you’re @DannySpud@kbin.social. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)
Oh that’s interesting. Kbin doesn’t quite work the same?
I’m not sure, is part of the fediverse so we can interact (in the same way that mastodon users can read and reply to lemmy posts), but it’s a different project with different code. Communities are called Magazines there, and there’s also a microblogging functionality. I’ve lurked a bit kbin.social, but I won’t create an account if I can use this one.
It also appears to not be fully federated or something.
Hmm federation has its pros, but I wonder how many communities are so splintered across different instances that they haven’t had a chance to grow yet…
Yes, reddit has a similar problem (there’s usually a few communities for any given theme), but being all of them on the same webpage makes it easier to browse and discover.
Change your default view from All/new to Subscribed/active.
That’s not my issue, no matter what I select the new posts still appear constantly.
Yeah but now us people at kbin can see what you’re up to. hi!
I saw the title and thought huh, it’s working ok for me, then realized that it’s from Lemmy. We’re federated woot! For people on Lemmy.world, kbin.social is also having problems from the new influx of people. Different problems, but problems.
Ironically, still some issues with the federation, so we can see them but they can’t see us. We’re in the walls.
Testing testing 1 2 3… can you see me from Kbin while posting on Lemmy.world from another Kbin account?
I don’t think they can hear us yet :(
MAYBE TRY YELLING
I CAN’T HEAR YOU, MY DISHWASHER MAKES A LOT OF NOISE!!!
They are fixing this bug in the next release which will be 0.18.

Thanks for letting me know!
Commenting from Kbin here!
While I also created a lemmy.world account, I have been unable to sign in for over 24 hours, the little circle on the button just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
But right at this moment I can see the enormous potential of this federated network, and am now officially impressed.Anyway… is my inability to log in with my new lemmy.world account due to the massive traffic spike and overload?
Most likely yeah, Ive noticed that the my posts and stuff seem like they take forever to post on my end but if I refresh the page it always posts instantly
In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy’s had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we’re looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.
Yeah im not dissing or anything, I understand lemmy is still in its infancy
More like a teenager with their first job.
This week, Lemmy becomes a man.
Yeah thats a better way to put it, I keep forgetting than lemmy is like 2 or 3 years old already!
It’s almost as if Lemmy was a thing with a dozen or so users plus devs at most just a few days ago and is doing what they can with the influx of people. Be patient. And stop bitching. Nobody is forcing you to be here.
You can say the same thing in a more respectful manner
OP’s comment does not contain any bitching. He’s just asking. No need to be pissy.
Rude
