I really want Lemmy to work but I’m having a difficult time tracking different communities across different instances. It feels like I’m doing something wrong. I typically just land on the lemmy.world front page and scroll through there, and I see some interesting stuff, but I’d like to learn how to curate it a bit more
Important note is that Hot is current broken in Lemmy leading to older posts getting boosted to the top in error. It’s currently being worked on for the next release.
I had a feeling it was broken. Both active and hot keep showing posts from 2-4 days ago. I’m still looking for an option to hide read posts but i found something that kind of works.
You can change your settings to not show read posts in your feed. Only problem is you gotta open the comments or upvote em. But it helps.
And right now New is definitely the way to go.
I would recommend to Lemmy to add something like top by hour or 12 hours as well, or something similar to the rising sorting with reddit. That might help things become less stale.
