Does Lemmy automatically refresh(or update in real time)?

I've noticed while using lemmy that stuff will just "pop up" so to speak. Is this because of some kind of automatic refreshing or something? Anyway, I know copying reddit shouldn't be the goal but tbh having stuff constantly pop up is kind of annoying. I noticed this also with the federated feed on mastodon, it is impossible to read because there's a constant stream of new stuff getting added.

It's a bug that's supposed to be getting fixed in 0.18. They're switching from websockets to HTML I believe, and then it'll only add the new stuff with a page refresh.

Yeah, it's really annoying as it stands.
