I’m seeing the same front page for days, how can I go about changing what I’m seeing to see more active threads or is it just dead in my subscribed communities?

    I’ve noticed my feed can look stagnant if I go by the default, which is Local and Active. I instead set it to Subscribed and New

    On Reddit, New wasn’t the best since posts were made so quick and a lot of them were low-effort, but at least in the communities I’m subbed to, posts are generally made slower, but are higher quality, making sorting by new valid.

    What I did early on was set the feed to all. As I found items of interest I would subscribe. There are new communities being created every day. There’s always something new to see.

    If you set in your profile settings “hide read posts” and then vote/click on each post you see you get only new posts

      For me hot is actually totally different like every 10 minutes lol

      Active sort shows me the same posts for a few days

      But top 6 hours or top 12 hours is probably what OP wants to use

    My Lemmy bookmark is the URL with the home feed set to sorting by new. Perhaps they should tweak how the active sorting works to de-prioritize old posts, but for now setting it to new works for me.

    You could turn off “show read posts” and make sure you are going in to every post you have seen to hide them, but that has some weird quirks when viewing your own profile.

        I agree. I feel like a hide button for posts would be a good idea as well then I don’t have to click into them.

    Sorting by NewComments gives you a good mix of both new posts and posts with activity. And changes constantly.

    Set your Sort to new. I have mine set to Subscribed and New.

    You could also do All and New to see everything coming into your Lemmy instance.
