Same posts each time I open my app, always the same boring topics about bugs and how people feel, this is getting old fast. Not that I am going back to reddit, but don’t think I will stay on lemmy either.

“Same posts each time I open my app, always the same boring topics about bugs and how people feel, this is getting old fast.”

So you decided to do the same thing yourself?

I am not sure how well Lemmy UI works (I have heard that sorting posts is kinda broken) since I am on kbin and things look pretty lively here… but its not fair to compare the depth of content communities that are just months or weeks old to Reddit where we have all spent years generating content. Organic content generation takes time, so be patient and engage and produce the kind of content you want to see here.

Contributing does little to help the issue at the moment, as the hot and active sort has crashed and stopped updating since a couple of days ago.

Until that’s fixed, most users will be presented with the same posts every time they visit lemmy.world

This a thousand times. I mainly lurked on Reddit and I’m trying to actually contribute here. Sometimes I fear that no one will care what I have to say, but someone needs to start the conversation.

Yeah, I’m the same, used to just lurk on Reddit. But with Lemmy trying to engage with the communities a bit more. Its actually quite nice, a small sense of camaraderie as people try to encourage everyone else to contribute.

That and since Lemmy is open source and federated, I feel more comfortable here than Reddit

Not boring at all.

The issue is you are sorting by “Active”, this is the default setting in Timeline.

You need to change it to either “Hot” or “New”. I personally feel “Hot” is the better option.

Hot is broken right now for large instances. Top of the day or New it is for me.
