I’ve been an avid sync user for years but am relatively new to Lemmy so sorry if this isn’t a sync issue.

Since I’m new I currently sort from everything by new. But I notice fairly frequently that I’ll get a high density from a low number of communities as I scroll. Sometimes it’s purely due to a flood of new posts but I’ve also noticed that I’ll get many posts clumped together that span several months time.

Is this something that is coming from my instance (lemmy.world) vs. How sync is pulling from the feed?

Thanks!

    I slowly filter stuff out, and since I don’t have a ‘front page’ anymore this helps me build up a list I want to see. I just can’t quite explain why I’ll see 6 months of back posts clustered together.

    So if a /c gets a new post then the instance will populate a few back posts in addition to the new one? If so I can handle that. Thanks!

      Oh, no, I used to have that, but I haven’t had it in months. You said you’re sure it’s not the client you’re using?

        The client is Sync… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
