I must be doing something wrong. I only see like the same 5 communities, and occasionally several copies of the same post. It's harshing my mellow because i know there's more content out there, i just can't see it for some reason

[–] Sev@feddit.uk 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah i'm still trying to settle on a default filter. I also have all popular meme communities blocked so maybe this is why, as the bulk of the content is well, memes.

If Lemmy's had a million posts, i'm struggling to see em? My instance is pretty open and has had no defedding dramas AFAIK? (is there a way to see this?)

For blocked instances, open yours in a browser, scroll down to the bottom and click “instances”. The list will appear on this page.

Are you sorting by All, Local, or Subscribed?

It's probably only all communities people from your instance (lemm.ee) are subscribed to.

Whereas someone from lemmy.world will see a different "all" (everything on lemmy.world + what lemmy.world members are subscribed to

Is there a community for users with strange names?

[–] Uriel238@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Is there a community exclusively for users with strange names? And if so, how is qualifying strangeness determined?

[–] pleasemakesense@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You would never see a half an hour old post on reddit hot sort. Look on local or subscribed, and if you want variety sort by new on all

[–] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Idk why people want to see half hour old posts. That just makes hot random, not interesting.

[–] Patariki 26 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I really like the top post per 6/12 hours, that way you can really keep up with popular posts.

[–] yonerboner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

This is what I have found to work best for me so far. Still learning though!

[–] Ddubz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Agreed. Sorting by top 6 1/2 hours works very well for me.

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

This is the way. I never realized how much better Reddit would have been if it had a Top 6 Hour choice until I got one with Lemmy.

[–] heh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s only like that because the community here is much smaller and overall post quality is higher on average.

I agree with you, but with time I expect the ‘hot’ algorithm to need many revisions. Don’t get too attached.

[–] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The size of the community isn't the only problem though. The hot page is filled with very recent posts making I virtually random as to what posts you see there. It's not about what post people are upvoting today, there is some aberration that brings up sub 100 vote posts to the top in their first hour over a 6 hour old post with 1000 votes. Active is also filled with days old posts making it useless for keeping up with current events too.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's crazy to me. I think the sorting algorithm here is pretty awful no matter what setting I have it in. Linuxmemes, lemmyshitpost, and 196 are always on top mixed in with yesterday's news

[–] arin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you sorting by active instead of hot? I never see old things past several hours unless it's ultra upvoted

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just sorted by hot and got posts I looked at yesterday
