Lemmy’s default sort is “Active”, which means that the most active threads will stay at the top of the frontpage, which can make the same few threads stay for ages. It does give the impression that lemmy is more active though.
But then you’ll be flooded by 0 comments posts.
Maybe if you sort by new. Try sorting by “new comments”
Sorting by hot also does that. It’s just broken.
Or just hide read posts?
i usually do hot / subscribed and if I run dry, i do all
and if that runs dry, i do scales… sometimes I will try other stuff but that’s usually good enough
New Comments is the best way to sort if you want to actually talk.
Also use the hide read posts setting
They still come back
They do not. Are you using Sync for Lemmy? It’s broken and doesn’t hide properly
Voyager. I’ve had the issue since always
Might be worth bringing it up in the voyager community. That definitely shouldn’t be the case.
Depends on how you want to use Lemmy. When using it as a link aggregator, you’d probably want to hide the stuff you’ve already clicked on. But as a discussion forum, it doesn’t hurt to go back to threads you’ve already seen to see what new comments have been made since.
Insert the Hank Hill meme:
“If those kids could sort by hot they would be very upset, right now.”
I’m a fan of “Top six hour” it refreshes often enough to see intersting tidbits throughout the day but not so much that I’m checking every twenty minutes!
I do “top day” because its not healthy to check this ahit more than once per day.
Top comment was sponsored by Top Six Hour Gang
Just tried that and scrolled through seen posts until it ended. I expected it to start off with hottest of the last 6 hours, but is it only the last 6 hours? I guess I don’t have enough communities
Yeah, it’s the top posts that were posted in the last six hours. Unless you have a pretty wide sub list it’s usually better if you do it for everything/all, eg. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopSixHour . Otherwise top 12 hour or top day is usually good
Thanks. I’ll take it as a jump off to diversify again. I stuck to joined communities because my feed was getting steamrolled by dumb, socially adverse, or majorly irrelevant communities. My original communities probably also died off, too.
Sometimes it’s been a while since I last checked the feed and I go for Top 12 hours
It indeed is often the same 5 - 8 posts because everything else gets hidden by politics word filters.
Top 6 hours
This is the way, every now and then mix in top 1 hour
Or, if on mbin, do that in reverse (at least in my case; hot stays stagnant but active is always changing).
Active is the worst one I have no idea why it’s the default.
It gives the illusion of more people being on lemmy.
top last time i checked lemmy
But doctor…I am Pagliacci.
And if you get sick of seeing the same post multiple times on the page, give PieFed a go. It stacks the multiple comments under the one item instead.
Sort by new and push good content up
scaled is my favourite
Make sure you push down Monk and his army of side characters too.
I love Adrian Monk, he is my favorite TV detective.
I do that as well.
This is the way.
This is the way.
Top - Past 6 Hours is what I prefer. Keeps it fresh, but filters out a little of the spam
