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
I like to sort by Subscribed+Scaled, or sometimes Subscribed+“New Comments” (forums style)
also maybe subscribe to more communities https://lemmyverse.net/communities
in the settings there’s an option to “Show Read Posts”, you might want to uncheck that so you don’t see the same posts again
but also… stop checking so often! lol
Maybe basically switch sorting from “top” to “new”
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.
Smaller user base and a lot of community overlap makes the same things appear quite a bit.
Sort by New Comments, or by Scaled sort (which boosts under-active comms).
Go into your settings and unclick
show read posts, and save. Then you won’t see any of the same posts again after you’ve read them.
