My biggest issue with Jerboa has been that it lags while trying to scroll. Best UI experience I've been able to hack together so far has been browsing in Firefox, opening a new tab to look at a post, and then I can just hit back once I'm done. It closes the tab and I'm right where I left off
I'm trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I'm trying to look at all communities sorted by new. But as I scroll down the page keeps refreshing the posts automatically and pushing stuff I've already scrolled past into view again, and sometimes causing...
I don't think it's the same thing. It looks like that user is watching the site reload the entire list, and inaccurately at that (they're looking at all by new but seeing days old posts in between minutes old ones?). What's happening to me is that if I just sit at the top of the page I can watch as new posts come in live, one at a time. Which sounds cool in theory, but really hurts the browsing experience!
At least with Reddit it's easily detectable (in theory, assuming anyone cared) without putting in the extra effort of IP masking. Here it seems like it'd be impossible to counter even if it were done by a complete layman. If someone has just one account on 5+ different instances they could make a huge difference by voting on their own posts without ever being detected.
Honestly, now that I think about it, it's probably already happening to great effect considering how few people there are voting.
When visiting Lemmy while using a browser, the screen follows my thumb just fine. But with Jerboa, while it provides a better experience moving between posts, just trying to scroll down I get lots of delay and halting. Using Android 12.
Is returning from a thread to a sub supposed to scroll you up?
I can't figure if it's a bug, design choice, user error, but it's quite odd to keep scrolling down every time after returning from a thread.
Disable autorefresh while scrolling?

Is anyone else getting lag while trying to scroll?
