There needs to be a way to pause te Federated timeline display. I tried three time to interact with a Toot there, just to have it scroll past. Then I lost it.
@greermahoney That's supergreen, but I rock a browser for most of my Mastodonation time. 31" monitor? Yes please!
@Samizdata Got it. Ah, well, ma man.
@Samizdata I feel like a fix for that has GOT to be coming, it's such like a glaring issue lol
@tadpole We can only hope. Hope and pray (to the deity of your choice).
@Samizdata I seem to be able to keep the federated timeline from scrolling down by doing this:
highlight the text of some post, then scroll down a bit and read posts underneath (timeline is not moving on its own now), scroll back up and read newer ones; if I scroll all the way back to the top it carries on in the usual fashion, pushing posts down.
This is in Chrome on octodon.social with a little experimentation after I noticed that sometimes I was able to read the timeline without it moving.
@Samizdata It's paused in the apps I've tried. You need to pull down to refresh.
