It was confusing because I didn't understand what it did and it just felt buggy and broken because of it but maybe now after reading your explanation I see it in a different light. Generally I like to be in control and like feeds that stay in order but as a special feature it might not be that bad idea.

Loosing the position on a feed when opening a note is just a deal breaker for me. It makes the all app experience too unbearable. Primal works better on that front but I don't think it supports Wallet of Satoshi zaps and Alby currently requires invite. So, if anyone has any Alby invites to spare, I'm interested.
