How can i stop the constant page scrolling?

Screwthehole@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 7 points –

Infuriating as I can’t read a thing. Every time I stop to read new posts just bump it down and it’s gone. How to edit this setting? Please help - new here. I want to like it but this isn’t working so far.

Pretty sure that is resolved in the next update, you can try to browse without a login from the lemmy.ml instance, they're using a pre-release version of the next version :)

I hear using the app Jerboa works. I'm finally going to install it now. Also, the devs are aware of the problem and will fix it soon :)

Ok well that's awesome news. They should fix that before they start trying to bring redditors over... It's going to chase away the average joe

Other than a few people who work for Reddit, basically everyone was blindsided by Reddit doing the API thing with such short notice. There's all of like two people developing Lemmy, one also is responsible for the Jeroba app and I think the lemmy.ml instance, and thousands of people just showed up and started trying to use various instances including having so many people sign up for Lemmy.ml it had stability issues. Apparently Reddit managed to hug itself to death during the Digg Exodus, it's not a big surprise it's happening here too and I think Reddit was a bit bigger than Lemmy when shit hit the fan on the previous platforms. There's some growing pains and some problems to work though, but the big ones like the scrolling thing will likely be solved fairly quickly.

If you go to all change the url to say page/0 instead of page/1. That is a current workaround. It will be fixed in the next update of lemmy though .
