There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

    Hey there, is there anything I can do about a single community dominating my “hot” sorting in the subscribed homepage?

    My subscribed communities are a mix of very small and very large communities, but when I view my subscribed feed it’s almost exclusively the largest ones, with the same posts dominating for several days. This effectively makes the subscribed page useless for me.

    Is there no way to see a variety of communities like I would with the Reddit algorithm? Thanks!

        Hey thanks for the response. I generally find Active is just as bad for surfacing older threads. At a glance most of them are 4-5 days old. Might simply be out of luck for now but I’ll take a look at that link you sent. Cheers.

          I’m starting to default to new comments and it’s helped

      My go to sort is Subscribed+Top Day.

      The issue with Hot and Active seems to be that comments weigh in a little too heavy. Since these are the top sorts, all these new Lemmings see these threads, comment, and keep them at the top.

      When numbers stabilize (or at least stop doubling every couple of days) this might resolve itself, or maybe the Hot sort might get an tweak.

      In the meantime, try the other sorts.
