While that's true I think that once the feed has been observed in a certain way the advantages of stability outweigh the advantages of showing a tweaked version the second time it is loaded.

The user expectation is that if you refresh the page, you will see fresh content.

mine isnt?

if i refresh the page it should be almost the same. maybe a couple new things at the very top, but i should still be able to find the thing i was just looking at.

by comparison, facebook auto-reloads while you're halfway down a page, and wont show you any of the same things. its an incredibly poor experience

		Yeah, this is terrible UX that we somehow normalized. At the very least we should be able to scroll backwards after a page refresh to see previous posts.

Not if you’re on page 2
