How do I set my Federated timeline to stop live loading? I would prefer to scroll and refresh as needed. Thanks.
🇳🇱
@NeadReport You just go to your settings and switch to the normal theme
@freemo I'm not feelin' the love on those directions, friend. I'm thinking I don't even need to keep up with the Federated feed.
@NeadReport Sorry. Go to preferences, the the site theme drop down. Select any theme you want (you probably want one of the ones labeled default). Then save. Should give you the effect you want.
@NeadReport Let me test a bit here now. Themes may have changed in a recent version.
@NeadReport Sees your right, all the themes do this now. I wonder if this is a recent mastodon change in general.
@freemo glad to know I'm not bonkers! 😆
@NeadReport Sorry I cant be of more help. I can look into solutions perhaps down the road. Int he meantime if you have any questions or comments hit me up anytime.
@freemo Truly impossible to read a Federated post before it refreshes! Thanks for looking into this for me/us/we
@NeadReport Yea the federated feed is fast. what i do is if i see something i like i scroll down slightly. If you arent scrolled to the top then the scrolling will halt and the feed appears motionless, even though the posts are still being added to the top out of scroll.
Just be careful when your done reading or interacting to the post you scroll back to the top. If you dont the federated feed just gets larger over time and slowly eats memory. Once you scroll to the top it clears all the older posts from the scroll though so it will quickly free that memory back up.
@freemo That's a good work around Dr. I also un-pinned it so it is not a distraction!
@NeadReport That works too :)
@freemo I'm using the default Mastadon theme - via Chrome on a PC.
