Is it me, or is it rather slow? If I sort by active I get content that is 1-2 days old. If I sort by hot most stuff are 17-20h old.

There is interesting content on here, it’s just hard to find. And you end up having to sort by new, which is totally different experience!

Other than that I really feel like Lemmy could become something awesome.

      I feel like Hot should have been the default. Active being dependent on comment activity isn’t a great way to see newer posts.

        I think Active made sense for Lemmy initially, since it works a lot more like a phpBB forum board where each new comment bumps the thread to the top. I guess that made sense when Lemmy servers were relatively quiet.

        Now that many new users are coming from Reddit and expecting it to behave accordingly, it makes more sense to switch to Hot as the default.

        You can set default sort type under profile settings.

            That I agree with. But as others have said in the thread, I think it made sense when Lemmy wasn’t as big as it’s becoming now. It might even become a setting that admins can set, just like now an admin can set which to show by default; local or all for listing posts.

      Interesting! Thank you. Seems great if you’re into comments, but not as great for getting new content I guess.

        Then you should use “Hot”: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

    I think that the combination of a relatively new platform and lower amount of content is to blame. On Reddit algorithms had a lot more to work with and they constantly removed the posts you’ve already seen from your feed. I would love to see both of those things change. Maybe a new, more aggressive, algorithm is needed.

    So I noticed the same thing, what I do is sort by all and new and you will constantly get new stuff in the feed. Plus you can upvote and comment to help the other algorithms!
