Maybe this is unpopular but I’m getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

    Yeah, the “active” sort also seems broken. I change to top with a day time period or hot. Works much better.

      Active works a lot like old forum posts. New comments makes a post more active. Hot is similar to Reddit, though posts do tend to stick at the top for longer than they should.

      Edit: Turns out Hot is bugged and stops updating, requiring server restarts. Github issue tracking it.

        this explains a lot. on Hot and on Active I see posts with 0 interaction (basically sorting by new). on Top I just see old posts :(

          There’s a second bug that causes new posts to show up on the top of the feed. That might be what you are seeing. I only see posts with 0 interaction when that happens. It’s annoying because right as you are about to click on a post, it’ll give shoved down the page as new content flows in.

          Luckily, that is being fixed. I don’t know when the next release is going to happen, but I saw the code fixing it got merged in recently.

      Yeah solution has been to sort by daily top. Not ideal but gets the job done. Really unfortunate timing to have a bug like that with the hot sorting.
