Sadly I dont know when it was added or if it can be turned off, Im not very familiar with it.

Lemmy-ui uses isomorphic rendering so comments do come loaded (just not all of them) on the first page you visit, no javascript needed. Did you mean it should serve all comments?

Of those I subscribe to, a few I don’t miss reading:

• https://www.the-syllabus.com/ - A curated selection of articles and videos. Broad, it covers politics, tech, etc through careful journalism, papers and talks.
• https://www.aisnakeoil.com/ - Commentary and chapters from a forthcoming textbook. Tired of all the lazy hype so this is nice to read. By Arvind Narayanan (the PL researcher) and an AI PhD student.
• https://www.carbonbrief.org/ - Weekly summary of climate stuff, something important but Im too lazy to properly follow news.
