There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

not sure if the "Active" ranking would be any better for you? i haven't played around with them a whole lot.

this describes how the lemmy algorithm works, and how it differs from reddit: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

Hey thanks for the response. I generally find Active is just as bad for surfacing older threads. At a glance most of them are 4-5 days old. Might simply be out of luck for now but I'll take a look at that link you sent. Cheers.
