It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.

When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.

I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.

    Am I doing something wrong, I just see the same posts over and over even when sorting differently?

      Try sorting by Top: 6 Hours, that keeps things a little fresher. Also you could sort by New, but that can get overwhelming depending on the level of activity.

      Hot and Active sorting kind of suck right now tbh. Try top>day or something.

      Edit to elaborate: I believe active heavily weighs recent comments and it sort of creates a feedback loop where someone comments, putting the post to top of active, then others see it there and comment on it perpetuating the cycle.

      The website now let’s you sort top 12h, 6h, and 1h too but no apps seem to have that implemented yet.

      Oh and sort by All not Local to see communities from other instances that users on your instance have subscribed to.

      Check lemmyverse.net too to look for communities no ones subscribed to where you are yet.

      I remember when I first joined Reddit it was much the same, but as it got more crowded my front page started becoming fresh more frequently.

      Just checking in on your 12h old post. Did you get it sorted?

        Thanks for checking in, have been sorting by top 6/12 hours and have been seeing some more variety in posts :)
