Not sure why this is happening, it’s been like it since I came over and it’s quite annoying. No matter if it’s on All and filtered by Hot,Active etc, every so often new posts will auto feed right at the top and shift everything down.
Is this a bug on my end, or intended functionality? It sucks :)
0.18.1 isn’t out yet. The 4th release candidate was tagged 7 hours ago (with the first RC being tagged 2 days ago). It took 8 RCs and 18 betas for 0.18.0 to release, though that was a much larger update.
AFAIK, the biggest issue with 0.18.0 is that CAPTCHAs were removed (for accessibility reasons) which many instances with open registration, like lemmy.world, relied onto help combat bots. 0.18.1 is supposed to add support for the fully automated mCaptcha (which just needs to do a bunch of math in your browser). Whether that is sufficient to fight bots remains to be seen, but that is what some instances are waiting on.
Yes, it hasn’t officially released, and like I say the lemm.ee dev said he had to make several modifications to get it workable. However his modified version does indeed work pretty well. I expect he’ll have pushed his mods to the official github.
