Maybe this is unpopular but I’m getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

Are you sorting by Active? That’s why. Use hot, or something.
I sort by hot and have seen the same posts 3 days in a row. I’ve actually had to completely switch to new to see anything outside of the same posts I’ve seen for days.
Same.
I sort by “Top Day” most of the time. Seems to give the best results to me
Lemmy needs to make Hot the default. It’s a better experience for new users.
Or better, Lemmy will let you choose the default, or remember your choices. Likewise, I typically browse all servers, annoying to have to switch from local to all each time.
It seems like you can change both of these in your profile settings (Settings -> Type & Sort type). It still displays “Local” on the landing page but it actually shows All content.
Ah shit so it does. Thanks for the tip! I feel like a fool for not seeing that.
There is a setting to change the default from Local to All (open
Settingsfrom the top-right corner). Similarly, you can make Hot the default.I wish Hot was the default for new users to improve the first experience.
