When scrolling through Lemmy, I often will see the same posts from the previous page - usually as the first links on the current page I’m on.

    It’s not necessarily lazy. If I want to go back to a particular post I saw on page 1 when I’m on page 2, but it was knocked off the front page, how would I find it? It’s no longer on page 1, so back would miss it. I’d have to go to 1 and then back again to 2 to find a post that moved.

    It gets even more complicated when the algorithm also changes post order.

    Sometimes simple with minor inconvenience is the best option.
