Turn off auto-refresh on Strava App Home Screen

[TrueDisciple]

When scrolling down the page of activities, after a while the page will refresh. This is very annoying to the user when they're way down the page. It takes a lot of scrolling to get back to where they were. And then after a while it does it again, and it takes even longer to get back to where they were...

Some of us follow a lot of athletes, and like to look at a lot of activities to get training ideas, or just to see what others are doing. 

A toggle could be added to the top of the home screen to turn off auto-refresh, and then a "Refresh" button could be added so the user can manually refresh the page and see new activities. 

This would make my experience in the app much more enjoyable.

This refresh bothers me, too.  It would be nice to be able to scroll down without being sent to the top so often.

I've noticed the same behaviour on my browser while following the feed. It's very frustrating to have it refreshed and back to the top, three times in a short time; after I gave up looking at the activity feed.

I have the same issue, when seeing a screen, it suddenly refresh by itself and go to the top screen. It is really annoying.
