Describe the bug
In the settings, I have set "Default sort" options to

  • Location: Subscribed
  • Sort: Active

Whenever I load the home page, for a couple of seconds I see the home page filtered by

  • Location: All
  • Sort: Active

then if flashes back to the expected contents.

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to options, set "Default sort" to anything other than
    1. Location: All
    2. Sort: Active
  2. go back to home page and refresh
  3. observe content flashing, for 1-2 seconds you will see content that is not filtered according to your desired settings, then it will revert back to the expected view.

Expected behavior
The contents that are visible in home page should be sorted/filtered according to the user's settings.

Are you using Lemmy on p.lemmy.world? If so, that's because they have SSR enabled and I can't physically fix this without either having users trust me with their credentials, or having some access to the database.

Yes, I am on p.lemmy.world.
Maybe you could use localStorage for things like sorting settings and dark/light theme?

Xyphyn commented

localStorage is local, meaning the server cannot access it when it fetches posts initially.

Oh I see, you're right. I'm closing this.
