And how do I disable this?
It’s highlighting unread comments.
Why do some posts all of a sudden have a yellow background to them?

You sure? Because when I open a thread I haven’t viewed before there’s just a few random comments that are highlighted and it’s doing that my my own comments aswell.

Right, it’s trying to highlight unread comments but it’s bad at doing that job. Lol.

Well either the link is definitely being opened before or your instance is glitching and thinks it has. What you’re describing is the new comment feature.
Normally it works by you going to a link for the first time and it loads all the comments. You can add comments and they’ll show up as normal but when you refresh the page or revisit it highlights all the stuff added. Your comments fit that criteria as they were added since the last time you visited it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there was a lemmy glitch over it. Something to ask your instance admins about for sure.

That would be cool. Any way to turn this on for a browser ?

First your instances has to upgrade to lemmy 0.19.
Lemmy.world is still on 0.18.5

I think it displays messages that were just created, like within 15mins or something.

10 minutes based on my experience.

Lemmy has a ton of desktop front ends and mobile apps. When asking a UI question, you need to specify what you’re using to browse.

In what browser? What OS?
