There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

Hey there, is there anything I can do about a single community dominating my “hot” sorting in the subscribed homepage?

My subscribed communities are a mix of very small and very large communities, but when I view my subscribed feed it’s almost exclusively the largest ones, with the same posts dominating for several days. This effectively makes the subscribed page useless for me.

Is there no way to see a variety of communities like I would with the Reddit algorithm? Thanks!

not sure if the "Active" ranking would be any better for you? i haven't played around with them a whole lot.

this describes how the lemmy algorithm works, and how it differs from reddit: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

Hey thanks for the response. I generally find Active is just as bad for surfacing older threads. At a glance most of them are 4-5 days old. Might simply be out of luck for now but I'll take a look at that link you sent. Cheers.
