I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    In my experience, it sorts by “active” which keeps showing the same 5 posts. Try sorting by “hot” instead.

      The default can also be set from your profile settings page.

      I think most of the issues we’re all running into are just growing pains. The sorting algorithms will be improved, performance and other bugs will be addressed. Most of us have been here for a day or so. 😅 I’m going to stick with it for a while longer and see what happens. If another service springs up that seems better, I’ll check that out too.

      Just can’t really support Reddit right now…

        Hey thanks for this! I just set mine to “hot” because that seems to have the most fresh content for me.
