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/

Any reason why my front page is mostly posts from a week ago, regardless of whether i set it to "Hot" or "Active"?

Top of the Day or New seem to be the best options right now. Top of the Day should return new posts with lots of activity, while New will often return posts that don't yet have comments.

I agree this is a complaint that I hope will soon go away. It seems the algorithm also takes into account comments as "activity" so the front page posts get the most comments and thus stay "active" for too long.

[–] smorks@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, that seems to be the case. there's never been enough activity here before the last few weeks for me to notice it probably, ahah.

A bit of a late reply but the sorting methods were bugged in the 0.17.4 release of lemmy. This current 0.18 release has fixed them so it should be working better now.
