Why do new posts auto-load on the 'front page'?

If this place gets super busy, the front page will be unusable. Is there a way to turn this off?

Agreed; I see this in my own lemmy instance as well. You are scrolling the main page and suddenly everything jumps for 10s as a hundred new posts come in. Yay for dynamic UI, but this is also a bit of a UX nightmare. Seems to be a lemmy default.
