I've got some bad news for the people who have followed me from #GooglePlus to the #Fediverse via #Diaspora -- You're the main reason why I stuck with #Friendica instances but the devs have rendered the latest version pretty much unusable as of tonight. I'm going to have to abandon all Friendica at this point and simply bid you all a sad farewell then migrate to the exceedingly better Mastodon. I've got my eye on Beige Party but you guys also know that the Israel issue is going to be problematic in terms of finding a Gaza-friendly instance. I'll have to keep shopping around til I find one.
Adieu. Luvz you.

Edited to add, on the following day, and looking at elements that are loaded when I change page--it's the ongoing loading of links to YouTube with Google that screw up the paging, on top of the autorefresh that takes place even when Settings has autorefresh turned OFF that are the main culprits, and that includes when YouTube posts all launch into auto-play with no way of turning that shit off.

The second that one tries to click on what's on the screen, the screen jumps to something else and one constantly is clicking on the wrong things, producing screens one doesn't want/never intended to click on. This is also despite Settings which put a limit on how many posts are displayed by page. Spending so much time trying to backtrack to where one wanted to go is nearly impossible when this persistently happens.
