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.

      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.

      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.

          There is a setting to change the default from Local to All (open Settings from 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.
