As far as I know, it's from when Lemmy had much less activity. The new posts would move your feed, but it would happen very slowly. With the influx of redditors fleeing that site (me included), it seems to be happening more frequently, and I know there's an open issue on github about it.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That does seem like it would be nice with low activity, but with larger numbers it's makes using the feed very difficult. With the default setting I still see a lot of the same posts from the last few days so I try to switch it to get new things, then the mass loading happens.
Agree, it makes for a very stressful experience just trying to read a post and it keeps being pushed off the screen (esp with images just closing). But I am sure some of the super dedicated people here are already on it, with the huge influx we just all need to be a little patient.
The developer said this was fixed and would be released with 0.18.0. The release candidate for that came out today, so I’m hopeful we upgrade soon.
That's the live update feature of Lemmy, which is pretty annoying to be honest. It's also buggy, sometimes it goes completely crazy and pushes huge numbers of new posts in a short time. That's a known bug that will be fixed in the next version, though. I hope they will not only fix the bursts of new posts but will also implement an option to completely disable the live update feature.
I feel like leaving it as opt-in would satisfy people who like it and people who don't.
Yep, that'd be the best way. I could imagine that this will be the way it's going to get implemented.
