I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    As someone who used /r/all before, what you say is exactly the same as I’m used to. Maybe sort by “Hot” though. Reddits algorithm is somewhere between “Hot” and “Active” here. Active is too slow, hot is too fast.

      Hot doesn’t update often enough for me, do you know how to fix that?

        I’ve no idea why that would be or what exactly “often enough” means for you - hot has mostly 8-16h old posts, and if I start scrolling down a bit I even start to see 15 minute old posts. Which is probably not how it should be, but 15 minutes certainly seems “often enough”.

        I also see 2 year old posts on hot for some reason, so yeah, it’s definitely not perfect, but reddit had more than a decade to get it right, I’m sure lemmy will get better.
