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.

    I look at “all” and sort posts by new comments - Lemmy moves a bit slower than reddit, and posts will get new comments over the course of a whole day if there’s traction. I block comms and instances I’m less interested in.

      Thanks, currently trying this out. I’m seeing a lot of things I’m not interested in, would be nice if they could have a slider for what percentage of things you’ve subbed to vs new things.

    I like to sort by Subscribed+Scaled, or sometimes Subscribed+“New Comments” (forums style)

    also maybe subscribe to more communities https://lemmyverse.net/communities

    in the settings there’s an option to “Show Read Posts”, you might want to uncheck that so you don’t see the same posts again

    but also… stop checking so often! lol

    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.

    Smaller user base and a lot of community overlap makes the same things appear quite a bit.

    No Fediverse platform I know of uses algorithms like the ones in today’s mainstream social media, so you’ll have to get used to seeing the same thing every hour or so. Try subscribing to even more communities, changing sorting algorithms or browsing the “All” feed.

    I occassionally find and remove communities through the “All” feed or random “recommend me communities” posts in communities such as:

    Try creating a post in one of them.

    If you want to help build a new community, try finding new ones. Creators of new comms usually post them in comms such as:

    I do wish that there was a “Random + New/Scaled/Hot” sort.

    I have my client (Summit) set up to mark posts as read when I scroll by and to hide them. It can alao mark crossposts as read. Then I just browse by Scaled. Occasionally I switch to Top over x timeframe when I have been away for a while.
