On another popular site I can refresh my feed and it’s instantly all new things to explore. But here on Lemmy when I refresh, I get either the same top posts (with little new activity) or I see them just down a bit.
I’ve chosen subs that are active, and a mix of subscribed and local subs.
What settings are best to have a similar experience where if you refresh your feed you see new things to subs you’re interested in? Even choosing ‘new’ its like… there’s no new activity when I refresh.
Thank you in advance
Go into your settings and unclick
show read posts, and save. Then you won’t see any of the same posts again after you’ve read them.Sort by New Comments, or by Scaled sort (which boosts under-active comms).
Maybe basically switch sorting from “top” to “new”
That’s what I did.
Smaller user base and a lot of community overlap makes the same things appear quite a bit.
Are you sorting by “new” or “active”? And if it’s not either of those then there’s your problem.
I go by all but I block communities I have just zero instance in. I select the setting to not show things in my feed that I have read or interacted with. Works for me.
