I’ve seen a few mentions of people feeling like they’re constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I’ve since moved to hot, and I’m having a much better time.
The sorting algorithm still needs some work.
The problem with sorting by hot, at least on my instance, is that I always seem to wind up looking at a post from years ago mixed in with more recent stuff. That’s not a problem per se, but I find myself almost responding to a conversation that happened a long time ago.
Tell your instance admin to restart the Lemmy service every so often. We have ours restart every six hours since that fixes the hot thing breaking and getting stale.
Larger instances might not be able to restart often as it could leave some interactions in limbo.
Hot and Active singles in your area are waiting to chat.
that’s fantastic, much better
