Hello, fresh new Lemmy user and first-time poster here.
Even when I set the front page to sort “Active” or “Top Day”, I keep seeing fresh new posts pop up on my front page (see image).
This happens whether I limit the front page to “Local” or widen it to “All”. This also happens across different Lemmy instances, not just Lemmy.world.
Is this a normal thing and supposed to happen?
I don’t know if I’m being overly sensitive, but tbh this is sort of annoying…
It’s websocket fuckery that will be fixed in the 0.18 release.
I see… Hopefully, it gets fixed soon. I like pretty much everything about Lemmy so far (light, not cluttered, no analytics trackers, etc), but this bug is annoying…
I believe it’s a bug in lemmy at the moment and not intended behaviour.
Hah, for me your post was one of the new posts that load to the front page. And yeah, I think it’s a bug
Ironically, I had my front page opened in another tab. And when I created this post, it popped up on my front page as well XD
Was just wondering about the exact same thing…
Yea this is a known issue, it has been reported here on the GitHub page of the Lemmy-ui: [Bug]: Filters are being ignored by homepage This probably has something to do with new posts received through the websocket not getting sorted properly.
I recommend using the jerboa app in mean time. It doesn’t suffer from this bug.
My understanding is that it is a bug that they’re working on. Hopefully will be addressed soon.
(fingers crossed)
