It's a bug in the current front end. They are about to release version 0.18, which fixes this. I have a beta site setup on my instance if you want to check it out. beta.discuss.online.
There have been several folks creating new front-ends from scratch. I think there will be a lot of improvement very soon.
Isnβt it great, we are in the early stages and get to see the progress unfold!
Yes, it reminds me of the old internet. I love it. I haven't been this excited since I found newgrounds.com
The last time I did a major forum jump was from Slashdot to Reddit, many years back. Reddit was extremely new then, had a tiny number of users, just one page, much more limited than what things are like on the Fediverse now. Just about everyone was talking about startups or programming or Paul Graham, stuff associated with Reddit internals. But it had that kind of excitement too.
And you get to do it again!
Same here.
I'm using jerboa on android, and this isn't happening to me. Is this a web only bug?
Yea this is happening to everyone. I have read its supposed to be fixed "Soonβ’" whatever that means
Yup. It seems to stop intermittently for me, so it's not so bad. Hopefully in the future we'll say things like "Lemmy took off in the early days when it was still 25% broken, and now you're complaining about ____. Kids these days!"
