• I haven’t dug into the docs so I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I’ve noticed that old posts will never get pulled into my instance after I subscribe. So a sub can appear empty, but then I’ll click to go to its home instance and it’s full of posts. Lemmy only syncs new posts upon federation (but again, not sure if that’s intended/expected).

    This is the biggest usability problem for me on Lemmy right now. I don’t want to hop between instances.

    The trending community tab literally just lists new communities that were created.

    Same thing when the “hot” feed shows dozens of threads with zero comments. Idk what hot means in this context, evidently.

      Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.

      I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.

    Experiencing the other side of this having just built a new instance. As the communities get closer to 50 subscribers, all I can think is “post, post, post”

      Ah, the YouTube experience. Jeez, you guys are still talking about this? Wait, no, no you’re not.

      Reddit was getting pretty bad about surfacing ancient threads there, for a while. I thought they were back on their bullshit about Gamestop but no, three year old thread.
