PSA: Sort by New in smaller communities to avoid only seeing the same old posts. (lemmy.world)

I've noticed that most communities mainly show day-old posts with default sorting. Sorting by New or Hot helps with seeing newer posts. Kinda obvious, but I sure didn't realize until trying it out 😅

My problem is not with smaller communities, but the frontpage sucks in active, hot, or new sort. I've found New Comments to be a better sort, but I would much rather have the active and hot sorts to be fixed/tweaked to populate fresh posts on the front page. Do we have any ETA on any changes to those sorts?

sort frontpage by top of the day

May be if we had a Top Hour, or Top 4 Hours or something like that.

That gets stale after a while because more people see the top posts, and the get voted even more and stay on the top.

Uncheck "Show read posts" in your settings, then once you up/downvote or actually go into a post, it will disappear for you.

I tried that, but that ended up hiding everything in my profile too. I was trying to find a post that I wanted to get back to, and had to disable that setting to see it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, yes, that part is really annoying, I experienced that too. This setting should only be in effect in the feed, not everywhere. I'll create an Issue later if I don't forget it, I cannot see anything similar.

I think they're basically broken at the current server load levels. Pretty sure there's a fix in the next update though.
