Edit: This has been resolved in the 0.18.1-rc update

When I read through posts or comments, I find it really frustrating when new posts/comments are added automatically as it makes the whole site jump everytime. This makes is quite irritating to read comments when they keep jumping down the screen.

I'm new to Lemmy and I really like the overall feel of it. But I already find myself not wanting to read through posts/comments.

Is there a way to disable this "feature"?

I thought that feature had already been disabled in 0.18, are you using lemmy.world?

If there's not, you could request it through the GitHub issues page. But putting "feature" in quotes is a bit harsh, as I feel like most people like an auto updating feed

Put me in the auto updating feed lovers court! But I agree with OP that when it updates, the site shouldn't jump to start as it likes to do.
