Sorry, i don`t know if this is the correct community to share my thoughts, but I’m wondering if lemmy team does trending posts instead of communities.
As most of us know, trending widgets are to attract the attention to specific topics, and titles play a big role in this. i believe if lemmy team switches the trending communities in the sidebar to show trending topics the widget will paly bigger role to extend the reading time.
Share your thoughts if you agree or not.
Why have a trending sidebar when you can just look at the front page?
This, also the capacity of main feed is hundreds, the side bar will show ~10
Good question, in my case i only show the topics from communities i subscribed to. so, with sidebar i see both cases at once with less time.
