   #FediTips #Mastodon

   Para quienes usan Mastodon y prefieren mostar su TimeLine en modo lento, tal vez les haya sucedido que, cuando hay nuevos posts y cliquean en "(mostrar) nuevos elementos", se les desplaza la pantalla hasta el final, o sea, hasta el último toot, hasta arriba de todo.

   En contraste, si usan Tusky, habrán notado que en esta app no sucede esto; une entra y puede leer desde donde había quedado la última vez que entró y desde ahí ir desplazándose en el tiempo, hacia arriba.

   Bueno, acabo de encontrar cómo lograr ese comportamiento también desde la interfaz web. Hay que entrar en 'Preferencias' -> 'Apariencia' y tildar la opción 'Deshabilitar movimientos de deslizamiento'. Con esta opción tildada, al hacer clic en "(mostrar) nuevos elementos", nos deja la pantalla en el mismo lugar. Parece obvio ahora: no se "desliza" (la pantalla/la línea de tiempo).

     Thanks, didn't know about that! ?

     Geez... that's just crazy how that option's description bears no resemblance to what it actually does.

     Maybe it is just a useful side effect of that option's primary purpose?

     @xuan @feditips Indeed they should, because the option's description text is not very illustrative of what it actually does.

     Hey @feditips, it may be useful to add this option/setting to the Advanced Tip https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/#SwitchingOffAutomaticTimelineScrolling What do you think?

     In English, if you check "Preferences" -> "Appearance" -> "Disable swiping motions", then your timeline doesn't go away from where you are everytime new items arrive on your timeline. If this is not checked, when you click "(show) new items" you are forced to see the last post, moving you away from the toot you were seeing.

     @tagomago @xuan

     Just trying this out, I am guessing this is a bug on slow mode?

     If the number of new items is small enough it doesn't do the automatic scrolling. It only happens if the items are a large enough number, so it sounds like it's not deliberate.

     Opened a new issue about this:

     I've just tried the disable swiping motions option again and it doesn't help for me, the automatic scrolling still happens :/

     It looks like, whatever options you have, the automatic scrolling is inconsistent.

     Federated timeline is best for testing this, you can get a huge number queueing in a short space of time.

     @feditips @xuan Maybe it was all placebo due to a small number of pending items and this option is totally unrelated? ? Waiting for a big set of new items to keep testing.

     It's inconsistent. Just tried it with 30 and it worked fine, then tried it with 10 and it scrolled away.

     It feels like whatever bug is causing this is intermittent anyway?

     @feditips @xuan How many did you have when it stopped working, approx? Waited till 30 items and worked properly with the option disabled.

     Just tried it with 60 and it scrolled. This doesn't seem to have any pattern at all.

     Hmm... ? And it's consistent for you? It never scrolls?

     @feditips @xuan 340 items, it didn't scroll with the option enabled.
