seems like it’s either day+ old posts that are no longer relevant or everything everywhere new, by the second
if there is a good reason for this [and there really might be] please lmk; i assume it’s less stupid and addictive to not have hot posts. but it is annoying and basically un browsable
I like sorting by All > New, but it can show a lot of content over a few minutes, and the way it adds things to the top and shifts everything down is somewhat insane. It could be fixed with a message like <click here to show 45 new posts> or if somehow it added additional posts below the initial posts, rather than above them.
I agree the main page (Active) isn’t updated often enough. People who haven’t used Lemmy enough to get used to the interface could definitely think there’s simply not much going on here, which would be not good. “Hot” works, and a good default would be somewhere in between the two.
As @ConTheLibrarian@lemmy.world says, 0.18.x wil fix this issue, but it is not optimized enough for larger instances such as lemmy.world. You can also sort by the top of the day, week, month, year, and all posts.
Growing pains. Just chill, it’ll be sorted eventually.
