🐛 BUG: Clicking Follow Refreshes Feed - And Then I Lose the Article I was Reading
What went wrong? 🤔
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a50e15ac-03cb-4ad0-a6a9-0531a5cecaaa
When reading an overview, following that user results in the feed refreshing completely - giving you an entirely new article when you were in the middle of the last one 🥲
Usually when a good article is posted, I like to follow the source, add my input or copy the headline, and then share that article in a Squad.
Expected Behavior
If I click follow, the feed refresh shouldn't happen until I've exited the overview modal (or whatever that thingy is called haha).
Steps to Reproduce Issue
1. Go to a new tab
2. Click on any overview from someone you haven't followed
3. Follow them
4. Refresh triggers causing the user to lose the article they were reading and their mind
Solution Proposed
Have certain user interactions override the refresh until the user has completed a certain action, such as clicking the view post or exits it out of it.
