FYI sort by "Top Day" if you're tired of seeing the same top posts from 2-3 days ago (lemmy.world)

I've been noticing myself that sorting by active or hot just gives me days old posts, so I've been sorting by new but it's not a great experience. this should be a pretty good middle ground.

Not sure what's happening with the ranking algorithm, but it seems like the default main page is still displaying the same set of popular posts from a few days ago.

But if you switch to sorting by "Top Day," it'll show fresh popular posts from the past day.

Change the Sort Type in your account settings. Much better than changing it manually every time you visit.

    I've been going to new, and then going to the second page to avoid post bursts. I just refresh when I want new stuff. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Hopefully 0.18 is out soon and fixes the bursting and hot/active algorithm issues

    Thanks, I thought I was doing something wrong but I guess this is a common issue then. Bad timing to have such a weird user experience just when we're having an influx of new users, who will surely get frustrated.

    This is a really good and I think it should be default, after trying it.

    Yeah I just did that, because I was tired of seeing the same post ever since I made an account here. I can actually see the new content now.
