I’ve subscribed to a handful of communities, but my feed is almost exclusively from this asklemmy. How can I see more from other communities?
I’ve found that Active, which is the default, is pretty useless as it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy sort of thing. Everyone sees the most active stuff and they become more active, keeping them at the top.
Hot works better for a balance between New and Active.
I recommend changing your default sort in your settings to anything but Active. While you are there, might want to change the default grouping from All to Subscribed.
Top -> Six Hours
Best sort
Oddly enough, Active has been the best for me. When I sort by Hot, I get almost entirely 2+ year old posts. Guess it all depends what communities you’ve joined
I think “Hot” sorting was/is bugged on some instances. I think it was fixed in a lemmy update. I believe there was a Github issue tracking it.
How are you sorting? New and top hour/6 hours have been pretty good for getting mixed content for me. Hot and active are a little weird.
This is better suited to [email protected]
Because the default sorting algorithms for both posts and comments from reddit are not implement. Imo quite annoying because of issues like the one you mentioned. But not a lot of people seem to care.
