always load new posts in the same direction

[spicewiesel]

After refreshing the "Home" tab new posts are shown above the current position.
Posts loaded using the "load more" button are then shown below the current position.

That frequentially leads to a situation where I have new posts to read above and below my current position and that's quite confusing.

Expectation: Always put new posts in the same direction. If the reading direction (new posts on top or bottom) is configurable the loading direction could be dependend on that.

I believe that the "load more" button is supposed to load in either direction, depending on whether it is in the top half or the bottom half of the screen. That may still be confusing for users but I personally appreciated that function.

It actually hasn't been doing that for me since a recent update, I came here to find out if the change was intentional or a bug

Personal preferences aside I don't see the benefit from positioning new posts in two different directions, having new posts below and above your current position. It just breaks the flow of reading.
