Why on Earth does the Lemmy post feed update itself while I am trying to read it, and how do I stop it from doing that?

I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this "feature" is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said "yeah, this works well" and left it in should be fired! ...out of a cannon and into the Sun!

I've tried Mlem and Memmy and both seem to have a single fixed "Hot" feed that has not updated since the last time the apps updated. It's still showing me some startrek post from two days ago, as well as a bunch of posts from beehaw despite it being defederated. Active sorting has this problem of constantly shifting. Going to specific communities and sorting by "Hot" there seems to be the most tolerable way to browse, but only Memmy can even do that. It's rough but hopefully these things will get pretty good pretty fast. I wish kbin had an app but for now the webUI is actually pretty usable.

I believe that's a Lemmy bug requiring an instance restart

Hot is another bug that's being worked on in the github
