Still learning - the Lemmy webapp - and behavior of showing new postings without having to manually refresh - and the setting "Show Notifications for New Posts" (lemmy.ml)

Still learning, but so far the webapp non-mobile experience seems to be that if I'm sitting on the home page looking at the listing of postings, it automatically inserts new ones at the top without me having to hit refresh.

That's different from "old Reddit", Fark, Slashdot behavior where the page output was static and a manual browser refresh is required.

Is there a preference to control this behavior so it can be a static page? I tend to revisit my web browser tabs after an hour or two and want to finish reading where I left off - and it dynamically updating goes against my desires.

Thank you.

I would also prefer a static feed page to scroll through. It sometimes refreshes right at the moment, when I want to click a post, so I hit something I did not intent to. It also messes up, when you read a post and use the back button up return to the feed. Often times it already moved on or you land on the top of the feed and have to scroll down again.
