MODERATORS
I know there are plenty of fixes coming in the next version of Lemmy, and maybe some of these sorting issues will be....ahem....sorted out with that.
I just realized that this post was 16 days ago...
Lmao some smaller instances still have fucked front pages but the bigger ones are solved already. You're gonna have to either find a strat that works for you or move around to test stuff.
Same
Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.
I've done that, but my new feed, maybe it's a difference in which communities we follow, but my communities' New are not top quality but very eh.
First, this isn't reddit, sort by Subscribed / New.
Second, subscribe to stuff and don't be afraid to subscribe at the same time to smaller communities on other instances. Yes, you cannot group them by topic Yetβ’, but it's on the road map.
Following up:
Third: Don't lurk! We need content here. Be a contributor, and don't worry about what people think. Sieze your moment, and cry, "FIRST! I posted that here."
Bruh you're talking to God@sh.itjust.works. He couldn't lurk if he were paid a million bucks to do so. This dude has shit to say.
Maybe it's the communities you're subscribed to. Personally, my front page is pretty filled. Take a look at https://lemmyverse.net/ to see communities from other instances.
Isn't it just that the hot algorithm freezes and stops updating? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I'm on kbin and the hot sorting works and it's great for checking a few times a day since it actually updates
Sort by either new or top today
If youβre feeling adventurous select all and sort by new/top today
All>new is my fav so far. Lots of stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.
If youβre feeling adventurous
i am not! i am feeling stressed and i want a hug :) but i live alone so i will have to hug a pillow.
Sorting by new is working well for me. There may come a day when Lemmy communities have so much content that it's too much for me to browse, but we're not there yet. I'm sure when that day comes, though, Hot and Active will be better methods.
What do you do when browsing Lemmy?
As I did with reddit, I sort by new and I follow interesting communities.
3-7 days old stuff
This may be a central problem with modern internet culture. 3-7 days is not old. You just think it is because you're used to being bombarded with new content every minute. It's always bothered me that it's somehow become somewhat of a faux-pas to comment on stuff that was posted more than 24 hours ago - that's ridiculous.
I get bored to shit
Follow better communities. Or do something else.
The idea of link aggregators is to operate like a daily newspaper, not a magazine at a doctors office. I don't want to see the same stories I read all week, I want to see the new things that are happening in the world, and in 2023, things move very fast. I'm still seeing posts about subs starting to close from the begining of the protests.
Then maybe you need to follow the RSS feeds of actual news sources.
the whole point of joining a "sub" is so that the community can gather relevant information on that topic and post it there. then the community also judges that content with the voting system. the goal being that everyone creates various information pipelines relevant to themselves that they then share with the community to form an additional pipeline. it's not like i don't go to direct news sources, but typically i would hear about virtually every topic they cover 12+ hours before on reddit. i typically get more in depth information about the topic, but reddit makes me aware of it nearly instantly.
