Is there a way to disable the constant refresh of Lemmy's homepage (lemmy.world)

I love Lemmy so far, but the constant refresh of the feed in the homepage is unbearable.

I constantly click on the wrong links, get warnings from my browser that the website uses too much energy, the console is a constant flow of logs.

I thought it was a bug that would be rapidly fixed, but I'm beginning to fear it might actually be a (really bad) feature.

Please tell me a fix is coming, or there is a way to change that.

This is fixed in the 0.18 release (the next release I believe) which removes live updates.

It's being addressed, but for now just subscribe to the communities you want to see and change the post settings from "all" to "subscribed." No auto refresh.

Is this a lemmy.world only issue?
