Hey Lemmy folks
I tend to walk away from my computer and not look at Lemmy threads I have open for some time. I’ll come back to look at them only to find that either
1 - The page has scrolled back up to the top on its’ own or 2 - There’s a whole new comment thread for an unrelated topic
Is there a way to stop Lemmy from auto-scrolling back up to the top of a thread?

Based on this source the issue has been fixed but the instance owners need to update to the latest version of Lemmy (v 0.18) which has the fix.

Most are. Because of missing captchas.
As others have said, this is addressed by moving away from web sockets in v18
This is a known issue that has been fixed in Lemmy version 0.18. However some instances are still not updated to that newest version. Once your instance owner updates to version 0.18 this should no longer happen to you. Source
Although some instances may also be refraining from the 0.18 update. Most notably Lemmy.world, which is keeping away due to the removal of captcha, and plans to update when 0.18.1 comes out with a restoration, or new anti-bot system.
To see what version your Lemmy instance is on, scroll down to the bottom. E.g., I’m on Lemmy.World which is not on v 0.18 yet.
I also constated that sometimes, the page reloads/scroll on its own while I am watching, it’s very confusing.
But I can’t find a pattern to when that happens…
