Since the influx of new users coming to !genzedong@lemmygrad.ml (after /r/genzedong was quarantined), that community seems to be overwhelming the “Active” algorithm.

Currently, 14 of the 20 posts on my frontpage view of lemmy.ml are from that one community. Perhaps lemmy’s “active” algorithm could be adjusted to prevent a single community from dominating the front page to this extent?

(I realize I could just unsubscribe from it, and also that I can use the “local” tab to ignore everything from other instances, but I don’t want to do either of those things.)

    Fully agree - It’s really cool to see Lemmygrad blow up, but it also shows the algorithm could do with a tweak

        The thing is, I’d still want to see lemmygrad posts (including c/genzedong), just not see only genzedong@lemmygrad.

          Fair enough. I get where you’re coming from then, the sorting algorithm could do a better job at balancing content from different communities.

        I don’t care what I can do. I’ve got Lemmy set up the way I like it. I care what other people see, since that makes them decide whether or not Lemmy is for them.

        Good defaults matter.
