Imho it's boring because "active" is the default and works differently from reddit. It shows you active posts, as in posts that have a lot of new comments. This leads to some posts being on the front page for days.
The filter "hot" is supposed to be like reddit, but is currently broken on a lot of instances.
For the best experience I strongly recommend kbin.social since they have a working "hot" as their default giving you the most reddit-like experience out of all the instances I've tried.
Den Usern drohen is immer ein guter Schachzug. Hat man ja damals bei Digg gesehen.
Immer weiter so Steve, so schaffst du es Reddit den Bach runter gehen zu lassen!
