On another popular site I can refresh my feed and it’s instantly all new things to explore. But here on Lemmy when I refresh, I get either the same top posts (with little new activity) or I see them just down a bit.
I’ve chosen subs that are active, and a mix of subscribed and local subs.
What settings are best to have a similar experience where if you refresh your feed you see new things to subs you’re interested in? Even choosing ‘new’ its like… there’s no new activity when I refresh.
Thank you in advance
Smaller user base and a lot of community overlap makes the same things appear quite a bit.
I look at “all” and sort posts by new comments - Lemmy moves a bit slower than reddit, and posts will get new comments over the course of a whole day if there’s traction. I block comms and instances I’m less interested in.
Thanks, currently trying this out. I’m seeing a lot of things I’m not interested in, would be nice if they could have a slider for what percentage of things you’ve subbed to vs new things.
I also want to know the answer to this, if there is one. Commenting to help it gain some traction. 🙃
Maybe basically switch sorting from “top” to “new”
