Lemmy Devs - Why do the upvote and downvote numbers for a post change in front of my eyes when viewing a post? (self.asklemmy)

Buggy looking behaviour observed, when I view a post on another instance or make a post on another instance then go back to viewing it, in front of my eyes, I can see massive disparities in the amount of upvotes and downvotes. Talking a post showing 600 upvotes then a few seconds later, 5 upvotes, then 40 etc

I've only seen this when I have multiple tabs open. The updates are coming in over web sockets and i think it gets confused when you have two clients for the same user session

I am seeing in the issue tracker that v0.18 is going to migrate away from using websockets, which should resolve the issue. Not sure when the devs are planning to release that.
