I subscribe to some, low volume, Lemmy communities (i.e. FreeBSD, Postgersql) and sometimes the posts won’t show on the first, or even second, page if I sort by day.

Is there a way to see just something like

subscribed community | posts (today|week)

So I can keep an eye on those low traffic groups

    That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.

    I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.

      Do you know if old threads pop up due to new messages? Seeing two, month old threads, so I guess they just got new posts. Other than that, it seems Scaled is what I need. Thanks

    I like using rss for a couple of comunities. It works well on smaller ones.

    I’m not quite following.

    If you go to the community and sort by new you’ll see new posts? That seems to be what you’re asking.

    Also see the “scaled” option for your subscribed feed. This makes low activity communities show up higher in the list to try to stop them being drowned out by high-activity communities.

      If you go to the community and sort by new you’ll see new posts?

      If I went to each individual community this would not be an issue, but that is far less friendly…

      This is what I have been doing: I go to the instance I use, discuss.online, and sort by day. That shows me threads with most votes for the day (or however many hours I chose) the issue is that on a busy day, or as the number of subscriptions grow, less active groups get pushed further down in the pages.

        Oh so when you said:

        subscribed community | posts (today|week)

        You weren’t asking for a way to see posts for a particular subscribed community, you wanted a list of communities with the number of new posts in each?

        I’m not aware of a way to do that, no. But I wonder if the communities list page might help you find them? If you go to the communities page and sort by Scaled, like this:

        https://discuss.online/communities?listingType=Local&sort=Scaled&page=1

        Then small communities with recent activity should show at the top?
