Every time I scroll down a page, after a little while (5-20sec) it scrolls itself up, usually to the top comment but sometimes (I think based on how far down I am) just further up. I don’t usually pull out ‘literally unusable’, but here we are. No problems on lemmy.ml (not logged in). Firefox with normal privacy add-ons on Fedora 38. Have I got something set to evil? Wasn’t happening a week or so ago.

    Yeah the auto updating content that is jerking the page around is really a horrendous user experience and I am sure lots of people thinking about giving the site a try is seeing it and noping out immediately.

      So it’s working as intended? That’s…sad. Since your comment this page is doing it. Is it browser specific?

        I think they’ve fixed that in v18. Lemmy.world doesn’t plan to update until v18.1 gets released, due to an unrelated regression (no captcha on sign up page).

        But plenty of other instances have updated. If you create an account on lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca, you’ll have a much better experience.
