I’m using Jerboa, I don’t know if it is an app thing or a lack of content thing, but when sorting things by “hot” I only see old posts, should I only see things by new?
Try using a different sort - “Hot: Day” is sometimes better than “Active”.
It’s a Lemmy thing, not just on jerboa. I just sort by “top day” to see the top posts from the past 24 hours. Once I’ve seen most of those, I switch to new all, which keeps a decent amount of new content coming through.
The platform is still young, so it’s a combo of a) not enough content yet and b) early sorting algorithms that paradoxically haven’t caught up with the influx of users yet.
I’m seeing clumps from the same community/magazine all grouped together when sorted by “active”
My best guess is that the data is transferred across instances in chunks and I’m seeing the content in those chunks! It’s far from a deal breaker but there’s definitely room for improvement!
Sort by hot and all subscriptions.
Sort by All->New or Subscribed->New, depending on how many communities you are following. Keep in mind though that Lemmy is still much smaller than Reddit at the moment but it’s getting better by the day.
See, when I do that in Edge(on pc) it updates continuously. Every single post from all across the fediverse (or my subs) starts flooding my feed.
Just starts basically auto-scrolling forcing posts down, forcing pics closed, and Edge starts throwing a fit with “high cpu usage” messages.
