a blue dot will appear on the Up arrow to the left of the posts when there are new posts at the top of the feed that you haven't seen yet as you scrolled down. Click that arrow to go to the top and see the new posts there.

Of course with the Discover feed, the assorted posts being shown aren't in chronological order (they're an assortment of recent posts Bluesky thinks you'll find interesting and will include some posts from accounts you follow, like Twitter's For You feed). ,Posts are in chronological order with the Following feed, which has the most recent posts and reposts from the accounts you're following at the top, added to the feed as soon as they post.
